miners! im confused!
 

I am a bit confused call me an idiot if you must but let me get this straight every fucking news channel said that 12 survied but the truth is only 1 survied is that true? if so wtf, thats poor reporting on there part :error

It was apparently a major fuck-up on the initial reporting. Fact is all but one has died. :(

dude thats to fucked up thats a hudge mistake RIP sad news

what im wondering is why people are still coal miners in this day and age.

It's not a news fuckup. Do you honestly believe every news person could screw up the same story?

People connected to the rescue obviously started rumors that got so big they became "fact."

Someone has to go down and get it.

It's a hard job, but don't they get to retire early?

pretty crazy, horrible mistake....I guess a lot of newspaper were printed, front page saying ALIVE too

Correct all but 1 passed away, Mining is a dangerous job, But because of the pay lots of people do it, There are lots of mining accidently yearly.

I often think the same thing about lumberjacks and construction works

lol

How do you think we get coal? A whole lot of power plants run on it.

50-70k a year in their economy is decent. The cost of living is probably really cheap there

And power plants = computers = internet = porn = billing = rebills = $$$ for us all :thumbsup

hick towns grew up on mining. It supports the whole area the mine is in.

More accurately, it was a fuck-up in communication between rescuers and the news media & families. When rescuers first reported they'd been found alive, the media ran with the story.

obviously it needs to be harvested somehow but you'd think we'd have machines by now or something. maybe im spoiled sitting behind this computer but i wouldn't take a job where i had to risk my life.
