explosion at mine why are they still trading, page-45

I didn't want to post because it is all too distressing.
In Response to Roidz who is absolutely on the money. The Fact is That They are Most Likely Dead. They were Probably Killed Instantly by either the Blast or Ensueing CO levels.

I've been an Underground Miner for 28 years and a Rescue Member for 14 years. The Rule of thumb with Rescue is if you don't get down in the first 24 hours, then don't go down at all.

The first explosion was a Methane explosion which has destroyed all the Ventilation Controls, So we are now building to a Massive Coal / Methane Explosion.

The Environment down there would be Horrendous, Visibility Probably Nil, But 10 Years Younger and given a chance I would be down there in a Flash.

Best Wishes Rabes.
