on one point - safe boxes with O2 were tried, and failed when the surviving miners lived long enough to be baked alive in the box when the coal burned around them. No one in the US will build/install one now because the F'n trial lawers. The rules for coal mining have not been relaxed in recent years. Another liberal lie that has become "the truth"

Excuse me for my ignorance, I'm trying to understand your point...

1) The Canadian mine was for potash, the WV mine was for Coal, how big a difference was it in terms of survivability ? Are you saying that had the mine been a potash one, there would have been enough O2 for the WV miners to survive ?

2) I don't understand why trial lawyers would object to building a safer box with more than enough O2.

3) I have been reading from the Slimes and other MSM (including CNN ) that the rules for mining have been relaxed, now you are saying they haven't... how do we know what really is going on ?
