Miners Trapped!

[mountain muscle]

Damn, I hope they can get some air to them soon. Talk about some pressure on the drilling crew. Hope those 13 boys make it out okay.

 

[mountain muscle]

Wow, they are drilling 200 feet and casing the hole, drilling out cement, then going open hole with a 6.25" bit just to monitor the air and sending a camera down to check atmospheric conditions in the mine.

Stupid ass media..." Why such a delay in drilling operations?"

BTW you all suck. 13 Men are 260' below the ground and karma whoring is more important?

This place has lost its focus.

Jokes baby, just jokes.

I seriously hope these boys are doing okay and they get them out of there. I have a lot of friends in the patch that used to be miners. Tough men.

Damnit! 3 times the level of survivable co2 now according to the robots downhole. I hope these boys made it to safety.

My father and his father before him were coal miners for a time. Hope they have themselves cubbied away somewhere. That much CO2 can't be a good sign though

My uncle almost bought a coal mine...I almost had to kick his ass...

Post about how marriage sucks and this thread will take off.

Sad to hear for those men. Personally, I couldn't care less; but its still sad.

I heard that on the radio this morning. The last I heard the crew had stopped digging and was going to put a camera down in there to see if they could find the boy's location.

Very Sad!!! I guess all I can do is pray for the Boys and there families.

what is the latest update?

 

[Dial_tone]

Have they heard from them at all since the explosion? Did anyone get out?

 

[silverfish]

Hopefully they moved to safety. They know that place well enough to find a safe place to lay for a while. Time is not on their side.

As the grandson of a WV immigrant coal miner, I hope they get out OK
The state, county and company likely won't give the widows much in compensation.

My Uncle died of black lung in West Virginia and his wife got like $10K pension/insurance

I hate the media, I wish they would get background info on what they are talking about before spouting off shit. Anyway I hope they're alright but I know that they should expect the worst at this point.

Cheers,

12 Alive!

 

[mountain muscle]

Great news! Too bad they all didn't make it out, hope the family of the 13th is handling things okay.

 

[silverfish]

Those coal miners know what to do when things turn to shit. Good to know these guys made it out.

 

[Dial_tone]

At least one is out.
