    3000 miners stuck in a mine

    Jesus how the fuck to they get 3k people in a mine anyway?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7027122.stm

    That's almost the number of people that died on 9/11

      Now that's incredibly, incredibly shitty. As far down as that is, I wonder how they can safely try to dig them out.

        Damn, that many stuck and it says it happened towards the bottom of the mine. How many they got going up and down that mine?

          The risk/ reward with that job is ridiculous. Of course I'm sure in South Africa a lot of people don't get to choose where they work. Sucks.

            Wow, that shit is insane!

            Figure the average miner has 2.5 loved ones depending on him... 7500 people being directly effected...

                    sucks, atleast theirs another shaft for them to be lifted out of 75 at a time is better than no one getting out and them all dying

                    could be worse like the china incident and the one a few weeks back in the US

                                Not sure why they first said this:

                                "The spokeswoman, Amelia Soares, told the BBC that no-one was injured and that the miners have access to water.
                                She said the bottom of the shaft, where they are trapped, is well ventilated."

                                Then later someone says:

                                "We are, you know, losing hope because... from six o'clock in the morning up until now the miners might actually be suffocating,"

                                So is it well ventilated, or are they all suffocating?

                                    Both. Doesn't really mater because the people who own the mines could give 2 left nuts for the people mining them. 3000 dead miners means they need to find 3000 more to do the work, nothing more.

                                              Very bad news. I cannot even imagine myself working as a miner.
