Rescuers are hunting desperately for scores of Turkish coal miners still missing after an explosion caused a pit to collapse, killing at least 238.
Dozens escaped the pit in the western town of Soma, but officials say about 120 are still unaccounted for.
On a visit to Soma, PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan said every aspect of the tragedy would be investigated and "no stone would be left unturned".
But protests erupted in the town, with crowds hurling abuse at the government.
Frantic relatives have gathered at the mine, waiting for news of loved ones.
As ambulances took away an increasing number of bodies, some of the bereaved wailed uncontrollably and were carried away by their families.
More than 350 miners were rescued, but no survivors have been found in the last few hours
