...Whats a bounce?...It's my understanding bounces are caused by compression in the mountain.
Causes floors, ceilings and walls to crumble.
I'm told bounces are commonplace.

Even Republicans can be arrogant bastards.
Did you not see his fit about the cause of the first collapse? He was pathetic.

Used to be miners were all Republicans and the owners were corrupt Socialist do-gooders who wasted their profits on social engineering schemes that came to no good.
That's probably still the case in Utah.
Can they get a seismologist from someplace other than Berkely? That right there makes the reports about the cause suspect.

A bounce is the same as a bump.
The original bounce that trapped the miners was the walls giving way explosivly inward. The roof held.

Is there a harder job in America than being a miner?
Right now I can’t think of one.

I agree. He’s a camera whore. I couldn’t believe he said at today’s press conference (out of the blue), “I’m no better than these guys....” Where did that come from? Then he said it again. Oy.

Why is it hard to understand that a mine owner would feel very strongly about a mine collapse being caused by earth tremors as opposed to his incompetence? I don’t know whether he is right or wrong, but I hate all the instant judgments about people. I’m glad the guy opens his mouth rather than sit there and let the reporters tell him what to think.

I'm really impressed that the owner (1) has not left the site and says he will not until the miners are out (he's not a spring chicken and must be exhausted) and (2) he insists that the families must be informed first so that they get information from him and not from the press.I'm with you.

I heard him say he requests that meetings with the families start and end with prayer.

That mine owner dude has been the most annoying, arrogant bastard. I hate that he is the spokesman for the entire operation. I am sure all who work for him cant stand him either; they must be cringing every time he takes the mic.

I found this:
The Dictionary of Mining, Mineral and Related Terms defines a bounce: a. a sudden spalling off of the sides of ribs and pillars due to excess pressure; a bump.

It seems from that site that there was real seismic activity all around that area before and after the collapse event. I heard the mine owner give some reasons as to why he thought it was really an earthquake oppsed to the collapse causing the seismic activity - duration not consistent with bump nor depth or epicenter. I never hear any reasons from those who say differently. Surely they have their own evidence - why don’t they state it?

just damn.
prayers going up.
To: Williams
All the seismologists (sp?) said it was NOT an earthquake. It was the mine collapse that registered on the Richter scale.
He may have the best intentions but he sure doesn’t know how to deal with media. And the media has been very kind to him.

Thank you for the info, CG-R! I keep hearing on the cable news stations (with seismologists reporting) that there has not been an earthquake(s). Guess I should stop watching this stuff!
