On February 4, 1970, in the Fouquières-lès-Lens coal mine in northern France, sixteen miners were killed in a gas explosion (“firedamp,” grisou in French). This was an accident like many others before it, yet with a relatively high number of fatalities. The public prosecutor concluded, as usual, that there was no case against the publicly owned mine. No investigation was to be carried out. The accident had been the work of fate, of bad luck.

萨特（Sartre）担任职业谋杀案的检察官：法国一家矿山的人民法庭的说明（1970）

1970年2月4日，在法国北部的Fouquières-lès-Lens煤矿中，有16名矿工在一次瓦斯爆炸中丧生（“ firedamp”，法语为grisou）。与之前的许多其他事故一样，这是一次事故，但死亡人数相对较高。检察官一如既往地得出结论，没有针对公有地雷的案件。无需进行调查。这次事故是命运的运气，运气不好。
