New Zealand - Explosion traps miners on West Coast, Nov 2010 *found in 2021*

how many times is this going to happen before the gov't steps in and implements new safety laws

my thoughts are with the families
 
praying for the miners and families.
 
Just got the below CNN alert via e-mail:

-- The 29 workers trapped after an explosion Friday in a New Zealand mine are confirmed dead, a police official says.

Pike River mine re-entry: Retrieving human remains possible, says recovery boss
1 October 2020

The chances of a recovery team finding human remains have gone from unlikely to possible in a critical area of the Pike River Mine.

PRRA chief executive Dave Gawn says it is now possible that evidence of the miners could be found.

He says they're more optimistic because they're learning more about the blast, including its direction and effect on a confined space.
 
can't believe it's been 10 years
