Guest Tuco Ramirez Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Apparently they were 5km away from the surface because even though they were 800m down it was a long winding path to the bottom. Thousands of miners died here in similar circumstances but obviously there wasn't the technology to get them out. The three things that I think of Chile now are miners surving 17 days on two little spoonfuls of tuna, a sip of milk and a biscuit every 48 hours before proper food started arriving, that film where the plane crashed and they had to eat dead humans to stay alive, and Salas singing like national anthem in 98 looking he was on speed. Look at this though puts it in to perspective. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Copiap%C...mining_accident Look at the diagram 1/4 the way down. Thank fuck they got them out would've been a horrible way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 41322 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 At first ,I thought the sunglasses and counselling being offered to the Chilean miners was a bit OTT. "Can spending months in a deep, dark, smelly hole really leave you blind and with mental problems?" I wonderded. Then I remembered Harvey Price.

Guest WDP Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 A TEAM of coal miners are missing after an explosion tore through a mine in New Zealand, triggering a major rescue operation. The blast happened at the Pike River coal mine, on the South Island's west coast, at about 3.30am (4.30pm local time). According to local reports, five workers have so far emerged from the mine and one is believed to have died. However, there has been no contact from the remaining 36 miners. Police said a specialist mine rescue team was at the scene assessing how to reach the underground site of the explosion. The miners had started the afternoon shift about an hour earlier. A police spokeswoman said: "There are 36 tags still on the board at the mine. Those miners have not yet been heard from." Remote The mine, which began production last year, has a 1.5-mile access tunnel running beneath the Paparoa mountain range to the coal seam. Police said power was cut off by the blast, complicating the rescue operation at the remote location. Ambulances, helicopters and rescue workers were on the surface ready to treat any injured miners. Grey District mayor Tony Kokshoorn told Radio New Zealand he was praying the miners were still alive. He said: "We're just keeping our fingers crossed but it's not good." Advertisement Thirty-three miners were successfully rescued last month after surviving more than two months in a tunnel 2,000ft below the surface of Chile's northern Atacama desert. New Zealand's mining minister Gerry Browlee said the government would put whatever resources were needed into rescuing the miners. He said: "Their priority will be getting people out. I certainly feel very sympathetic to their families, it's a dreadful situation for them to be in." Sort it oot god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
