Condolences to our NZ Friends

[Keith]

Sincere condolences to any member here who had friends/family involved with the mine tragedy on South Island..... :sad:

 

[domtoni]

Especially after the success in Chile. Thanks Keith.

 

[Graham]

Same goes from me. A black day for New Zealand.:sad:

 

[Chris Simpson]

From me too. A terrible tragedy.

 

Thanks Guys. We're a small country and pretty much everyone is feeling the loss.

 

[Jack]

Ditto!

 

[JimmyMac]

A deeply sad time and one's thoughts must go out to them.

 

[Randy V]

Same here....

One news report I saw mentioned that the re-opening of the mine was not very likely...

 

[roaldin]

Everyone I've spoken to here in Tas' is thinking of you.
Jokes aside there is a special place in Australian hearts for New Zealanders.

Tim.

 

[Simon]

Dreadful news. Again, after the success in saving the Chilean miners this makes it even sadder.
A very tough and dangerous job.

Appalling tragedy. We have been mining coal for hundreds of years, probably thousands, so I would hope we can find a way of doing it more safely for our miners, such that we can prevent such dreadful consequences from the generation of methane.

 

[David Morton]

So so sad. My family, on my mothers side, were all coal miners in the Durham area. An incredibly tough job.

David,
My wife of thirty years is a coal miner's daughter. He worked at the coal-face.
Enough said.
