Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 What a terrible shame ey gents. 29 blokes went out to do a days graft and didn't come home. After the success rescue story of what happened in Chile, I was hanging onto the hope that these lads would also be found alive and unhurt. Unfortunately it's not going to turn out that way. R.I.P.

tracyb - Doglost 1 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 My whole family were miners & thank god we have safer mines over here. But 17 on first day. I hope they have the decency to recover the bodies quickly to save the families even more heartache Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi 4 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 a few scots were on the list and the 17 year old was due to start work the following day but started a day early. the min silence at the welsh/all black game was good to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
