Utah Mine Cave-In

Hope All but Extinguished at Cave-In

It's sincerely upsetting that we can almost destroy entire continents with the push of a button, yet we haven't developed the technology to keep accidents like this prevented.

Not knocking anyones efforts in trying to save those men, just tired of seeing these things happen.

God rest their souls.
I believe the world is burning to the ground.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

If you would have peace, prepare for war.

Part of the problem is the Bush administration relaxing safety regulations so mine owners can make more money. Because of this mine accidents have increased by quite a bit. This isn't a local issue since all mines are only under federal jurisdiction.

Honestly, they was really little hope from the beginning. Especially when the first hole they drilled took 5 days to finish and went to the wrong chamber.
I could have been a contender.
If there is a 50/50 chance you'll get right there is a 90% chance you get it wrong.
