That's it basically, coming from a traditional mining area, I just wanted to note my respect for the miners.
As I'm looking at the news from the United States at the moment, 3 rescue workers have died and six more injured. They were part of an ongoing rescue effort to locate and rescue/recover six trapped miners.
There is no doubt that these guys and their families are aware that this is an extremely perilous operation - and that there lives are at risk.
