Songbird Member Registered: 06/03/04 Posts: 2830 Loc: Massachusetts, USA	This situation leaves me speechless. I continue to pray for all involved and pray that some lessons are learned, so this doesn't happen to others. Tha families of these miners have gone through so much, with no end in sight! And the impact o their whole community is huge! I pray God comforts them! _________________________ In His love, Songbird http://expressionpublishingministries.com www.inkspirationsbyrhodi.blogspot.com NABBW & NAWW

WhatStopsYou stranger Registered: 08/12/06 Posts: 84	It really is tragic. Some of the rescue miners are still in the hospital recovering. The mine owners have pretty much given up hope of finding these men. The families are understandably angry about this. They are still drilling bore holes but don't believe they will find anything. They are no longer trying to dig the men out. Sadly, it will probably become their tomb. Such a sad, sad thing.

HOpefully, one day we'll be able to say, "They used to send people down to do that." _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

#125809 - 08/22/07 10:33 PM Dangerous job...
jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Anne 327, I agree. Retreat mining should be outlawed! I used to think electrical linemen, tower maintenance, highrise construction, policemen, firemen, etc., etc. had difficult jobs. But that retreat mining is unbelievable. There's got to be a better way! It goes without saying, that our prayers are with the families in this crisis.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Anne, the answer to your question is MONEY!!!! Sure they have the technology to do this job without men having to risk their very lives, but human labor is "cheap labor" in those parts and thats the answer. Hell, these poor miners can't even get an insurance policy...Those mens families are left with nothing, not one thin dime. But does our government help, NOPE, they would rather spend ours and those miners tax dollars on the illegal aliens families, while our own born in America citizens starve or worse.
