I agree. We had some guys stuck in a mine not too long ago in the states. Unfortunately all (about 7) of them but one died. It was very tragic. Im happy to hear these men are alright. :)

Wasnt there some thing in the states where like 12 or 13 miners died, and to start with the families were told that 12 had survived and 1 died, but it turned out that 1 survived and 12 died

Yeah that is the same incident that I was referring to. It was very sad.

They were told by one of their own who had overheard a workers radio that they had found 12 people.
In that state, of course you're going to celebrate, unfortunately the guy should've checked his facts first.

I felt so bad for those people, I couldn't think of anything worse that could've happened, they've basically lost their family twice.

I hope now time has helped a little, and they can drop the talk of suing the rescuers for giving them false hope when really it was one of their own :(


On topic, great to see them out, and walk out by themselves. Congratulations to all those involved in the rescue efforts.

And RIP a fallen comrade :(

yeah the funeral was yesterday and one of the guys who was stuck down there went to it. Now just waiting to see if they close what many are saying is an unsafe mine.
