TomT is right. I really feel sorry for the family. They are the ones that have to live without thier loved ones in thier lives.
Just for the record, it was a non-union mine that was deemed usafe. I hope the remaining miners will wise up and organize that mine to improve the working conditions. It was reported that one of the employees, a week before the incident, purchased a cigar. Friends or family said "Junion, you don't smoke, why did you buy a cigar". His comment was, "I don't know how much longer I will live working for those people." That employees was one of those killed in that mine.
Such a sad state of affairs. I can not imagine how horrible it must have been to be stuck in that mine, only to die.
