Sad day today for all New Zealanders... It was confirmed by police that 29 people are dead after a mining problem Friday. There was an explosion on Friday afternoon and it was reported they were still alive but there was no rescue allowed due to the gas. Today around 2pm another explosion happened which police have now confirmed the 29 miners dead. http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/mine-boss-we-want-our-boys-back-3912542

Wish the best for the families and friends of the miners. Way too many mine incidents lately, something has to be done to increase the safety of these mines for the miners.
