A sad thing. Sad for all the families and friends over there. My nephew works underground over here as well. You never think of it happening. It always happens to someone else. That someone else is a person with family too.
Tragic waste of lives...about time we found better ways to mine the bowels of the earth or infintely better ways to rescue people when disasters like this happen. If not we should not be sending them underground to do a job we would likely as not not contemplate doing ourselves.
