bluekarin Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 As far as I know, no one was killed. There were two groups of miners down there, and one group managed to get out. Not sure if this is true as it's from Wiki, The trapped group of miners tried to escape through a ventilation shaft system but the ladders required by mining safety codes were missing and the shaft later became unusable during subsequent geological movements. The company had previously been ordered by supervisory authorities to install ladders after an earlier accident had caused authorities to close the historically accident-plagued mine as a condition of restarting operations I'm sure there will be a long investigation about this. But, I take my hat off to the rescuers and the miners themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I have just one question though - when the last rescuer went up in the capsule, who switched the lights and camera off?!?!? I was wondering that myself last night!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 They were fed in from the test drillings I believe so will have been switch off at ground level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Do you think that maybe someone should pop down to check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Do you think that maybe someone should pop down to check? Are you volunteering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I wonder what they might see if they left the light on and the camera running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
