I feel really bad for the miners that were trapped. It was an unfortunate situation and an accident that was hard to avoid. It was just a freak accident and i would not wish this upon anybody. Those people must have been so scared inside that cave. The families of the ones that were lost are all suffering as well which makes me very sad.

Ugh, this story is so depressing. Cave ins and things like this are always devastating, but even more so when you dig and dig and find nothing. It reminds me of the dogs in 9/11 who got depressed over not finding survivors, or the Mexico earthquake where they made up a survivor just to make people feel better. It's so, so sad. :(

I read the article on the China mining disaster.   There were 33 miners trapped in the mine.  Only two of them survived.  Officials stated whoever was responsible would be punished.   Smaller mines were shut down immediately until further notice.   China has always been known for the deadliest mining.

I cant even imagine dying this way. It is such a slow and painful death being trapped somewhere scared with gas leaking. It is sad that this was totally preventable but somehow they overlooked safety. I think all mines should be shut down until full safety inspections can be done. They need to be able to justify working conditions and not just have people working to make money. All of these people had families that are just stuck without them for such a silly reason to die. The government needs to be held responsible for this.
