Their poor families, always seems worse just before Christmas too. RIP all those miners and my thoughts go to the families and friends.

I saw that on the news this morning, how terrible for all those miners and for their families. I almost makes me hope that they were all dead with the first explosion and didn't have to suffer at all.

So very sad for those families waiting with hope in their hearts, to see little being done to try and rescue the men or even find out if they were alive must have been so hard to do. Now they have to take in the fact that they will never see their loved ones again, maybe they won't be able to be recovered for burial or cremation.

May they rest in peace and may the mine owners learn lessons from all these awful accidents. Far too many in recent years and not many as lucky as the men in Chile.
