“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!
