patsylabrador Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Sad news today. Shame that they could not be saved, I was hoping for another happy ending. Mining reaps quite a high toll doesn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Such a tragedy. Everyone must have been hoping for a Chile type ending . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 It is so sad that there is no happy ending as with the Chilean miners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 The Chilean miners' story must have given them such hope, but this must have been a very different situation. I heard on the news today that the rescue services hadn't even been allowed near the mine as there was the risk of further explosion. A very, very sad outcome to this story.

chicken bark Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I agree - I think hopes had been raised because of the miraculous outcome for the Chilean miners. Very very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The thought that they may have survived the first blast and been awaiting rescue just doesn't bear thinking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 It is just horrible isn't it I suppose one good thing is that they didn't send anyone else down there as they probably would have been killed by the explosion too. The footage of the families is just awful to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
