Despite the breaking of production records, overtime was not available and 400 miners at PoW were threatening to go on strike.
Miners working elsewhere were not aware of any noise but just felt a strong current of air. 35 were killed; 4 burned, 30 suffocated and 1 was hit by a carriage at the bottom of the shaft.

Across Scotland, mothers, wives, daughters and sisters fought to save Britain's mines in 1984-85.

Nearly one million miners took part. It ended on 6 April after 37 days. [2] The strike caused considerable disruption to train and shipping schedules.
