This is so very sad. People say that the miners didn't really suffer, but they did know that the end was coming and they had to face the hopelessness of that.

It is the existential fear in a condensed version.
We all know we face death but not the hour it is to come.
Sounds like they faced it with equanimity and with a certain peace.
The ones that left notes focused on what really matters, those we love and who love us.
The messages from 9/11 victims were very similar. I love you.
Never heard one to that said "Good bye you SOB, I'll never see you again."
