You know with all these mines collapsing maybe it some sort of sign. Maybe someone of the higher power is tell us to stop mining. I don't know it just seems to me like this sort of thing is happening a lot lately.

I was horrified when I saw that story. I now see that a lot of them have gotten out. It does tell me that mine safety is a problem everywhere.

I'm glad they have been able to get so many out so far. Is it common to have so many people in one mine at one time? I know things are different in Africa in terms of worker safety requirements.
It must be a very large mine and perhaps they mined it too much. When you move that much dirt around, things are going to collapse. I think it's more the greed of getting the most out of the earth is what's causing the collapses.
