My Condolences

[craig7501]

to the families of the 29 New Zealanders who have died in the mine explosion. What a sad loss

[HerMajesty]

I always hold to the faintest glimmer of hope.............when will they know for sure there is no hope?? This whole thing has been such a sad sad time for the families.

I too send my sympathies. Poor families. What a heartbreak. May they find strength to find something that will bring them comfort to ease their sorrow.

Thanks guys (esp Craig)
I am in the North Island, but we are a very small country, and it affects us all.
Its been such a sad story.
Its a loss of 29 good men.
Some from Australia and Scotland and South Africa.

This story just shows how dangerous mining can be.

My dad was a miner from age 14 to 62 and I give thanks that he survived the horror of having to go down into the darkness 5 days a week.

My thoughts are with the families of these men and to all in New Zealand. Britain owes a great deal to you. We should never forget the Anzacs (Senseless waste of lives)

Sorry I side tracked there but I feel we Brits don't always appreciate what our commenwealth cousins did for us.
