Just saw the footage on the TV of the blast coming out of the entrance if the mine - pretty full on. I also notice that all the TV presenters in NZ are wearing black....
If it was this bad 2.5km from the blast, anyone close to the blast would not have had much of a chance. I think that to survive the blast and still manage to get enough oxygen to breath (for 5 days!)would take a miracle.
I am pleased that I am not one of the brave men who eventually go into the mine to on the rescue/retrieve mission.
