I agree with you both! The media has all night been asking if anyone was at fault. If the owner of the mine used bad judgement, on and on. The media has no real interest in the feelings of everyone involved! They just want to stir up strife so they can have a sensational story!

I think the best thing the owner did was to shelter the miners’ families of those trapped in the mine so the media would not start their foolish questions on them. The media is known for asking terrible, painful, and insensitive questions!

Yes, I’ve noticed Murray’s eyes are very tiny and do seem to be getting smaller... I can’t figure out why he looks like that... I’ve never seen anyone’s eyes that are that squinty.

“It has been slow because the same mountain movement that caused the initial collapse has continued. “

It’s my understanding that ‘mountain movement’ did NOT cause the initial collapse, but that the initial collapse is what caused the measurable mountain movement.

Has anyone heard anything definitive as to whether or not the underground attempt at rescue will continue?

I think time will tell how the families feel about Mr. Murray.

It’s a shame that this thread isn’t showing up as breaking news.

I have personally looked at the mine maps with our engineer’s. These events are caused by Murray’s and the FED permit.

You could be right.

But I still admire his pluk to take on the media jerks. And to speak candidly as he sees it and feels it and thinks it.

How can one tell the difference . . .

Does he love the camera

or

does he “merely” feel passionately about getting his perspective out in spite of the media jerks.

Good points. Thanks.

But given snippets at a mike in front of media jerks he rightfully and understandably loathes . . . feeling passionately about getting his perspective out . . . in an intense life and death situation with few good ways, if any, out . . .

I don’t mind giving him a good measure of grace.

Your post #37 is spot on I’m on PDA (copy/paste). Everyone thinking he is compassionate are crazy. There were no mountain events other than the mine plan. This going to ugly and he knows it.

I blame bill clintoon and the envioronazis for this.
Clintoon for locking up the high grade low sulpher coal in Utah...by all accounts deposits were immense and easily avaiable to safe open cast mining.

And the environazis for preventing mining for oil and gas in USA (Anwar and offshore).

= = =

I FIERCELY AGREE. AL BORE SAW TO IT THAT CHINA!!! got contracts instead of the low sulpher Utah coal group. GRRR

Kindness and grace are extremely rare commodities these days.

I tend to think that we deserve what is going to happen.
Sad, and such a waste.
