Anguish quickly turned to anger over Turkey's mine disaster Wednesday, with protests kicking off over the government's failure to respond to previous deaths at the site.

.

As the death toll climbed and rescuers scrambled to find survivors in the burning Soma mine, several unions announced national strikes and demonstrators gathered outside the headquarters of the mine's owners.

.

There were also angry confrontations when Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Soma, with rocks reportedly thrown at police protecting the leader's entourage as it passed through crowds.

.

The prime minister was booed after speaking about the mine, with members of the crowd yelling "Resign! Resign!" At least ten protesters were taken away from the scene by police.

.

Thousands gathered Wednesday night in Istanbul's Taksim Square, where protests have taken place since last year opposing the construction of a shopping center.

.

Turkish police fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd, Reuters reported.

.

The mine accident also prompted clashes in Turkey's capital of Ankara on Wednesday.

.

In recent years, inspections at the mine where an explosion Tuesday claimed the lives of at least 274 workers have uncovered multiple safety infractions, but no fines were ever issued. An opposition lawmaker's proposal to investigate previous deaths at the site was defeated in Turkey's parliament just last month.
