Yes, it sure looks grim!
I just hope if they are gone that they went quickly. I can’t imagine contemplating being stuck so far underground, so far from help. I do hope that they can find them eventually. Perhaps they left notes for their family members. And perhaps something can be learned from what happened. God bless them.
Indeed!!
Murray just drove by - presser now at 7:30
Any news?
“He very aggressively told the families to give up. That we might as well stop”
“He did not deliver any part of his message with tact or respect”
“He continually tried to tell us that he was the only hero of last Thursday claiming to have personally dug up and carried out all of the injured men but one.”
“We need to stop lying to ourselves and accept the fact that the bodies wont be recovered”
When one of the family members yelled at him “Mr Murray you promised us dead or alive” Bob Murrays response was “Well I changed my mind” That's all for now, expect a press conference late this afternoon.
Holy cow! Sounds like Murray was a tactless jerk. Was this the meeting they had at the church the other day? Why is Murray the main mediator with the families? Where is the relevant government agency? How about local law enforcement? It seems strange to me that the owner of the mine is seemingly in charge of the rescue effort, the pressers, and communication with the families. If a building collapses, you don’t see the building owner in charge of all that. Keep us posted!
Look for live presser at 6:30 pm
