Oh Huia,

I had no idea. In my prayers and thoughts, their families too.

Positive thoughts for the miners and contractors still inside the mine.

Have just seen a news report that two miners are out and three more are on their way to the surface, no news yet of the other 30 or so miners.

4 hours ago there was an explosion in a coal mine on the West Coast (S. Is.) of NZ. There are rumours of 1 death so far, but it has not been confirmed. There are about 30 people missing. Let us hope and pray that they are all safe.

Huia.
