That is interesting - also coal seam gas for possible explosions and more porous walls and less solid material to mine into for instability. With most coal being on the way out over the next 20 or so years, I guess it might not be so attractive to a lot of younger workers. I'd much rather be searching for something sparkly - lol

Agree re the recovery. I was the victim of a workplace accident when I was 15, and badly burned my hand at KFC. I've fully recovered, and you can barely see the diff between each hand. It was bloody painful, but not life threatening at least. Those guys were idiots way back then, and had you reaching into an oil pressure cooker without gloves to scrape the residue off the sides. Didn't think to short KFC!
