Today - January 9

So here comes January 9!

In 1816 Sir Humphry Davy tests the Davy lamp for miners at Hebburn Colliery. Though we know that this lamp is used as a safety measure in the mines but actually when this lamp was introduced it led to increase in the accident rates in the mines. Because this was supposed to work a measure of safety people started working in the mines which were earlier closed due to safety concerns.

Also this made a certain portion of the people working in the mine very ignorant of the actual situations. Fortunately the recent day systems are much more sophisticated.


Jai Gurudev!

Love!
