New Zealand Miners - RIP


Recommended Posts

I was appalled to hear the sad news this morning that a second explosion had ripped through the Pike River Coal Mine on South Island and that all 29 miners had perished, I gather devastated family members were heard screaming and crying as they left a meeting where they had been informed by sheepish Police of the second explosion. What I fail to understand is why a rescue operation was not speedily co-ordinated following the initial explosion last Friday, nobody seemed to lift a finger supposedly due to poisonous gas however there are such things as gas masks. This one is likely to run and run and questions have to be asked as to why the miners in Chile were painstakingly rescued and the ones in New Zealand simply allowed to die, RIP:

The NZ Authorities to seem to be rushing with unholy vigour to flood the mine with carbon monoxide before exhausting any possibility that there could be any miners still alive.

Loosely - So we are agreed for once, that's definitely a first!
