I feel so bad for the victims and the victims families. They were just doing there job and this careless explosion cause them to lose there lives. It is sad that they know how deadly and unsafe these worker conditions are but still have yet to close them. I am happy they are set to close around 1,000 but i think more has to be done. There should be a council and regulations set up like osha in the us to protect workers and make sure all precautions are being done to preserve human life. Now families are left without there sons fathers and incomes when they could have easily just shut this down. I hope for safer woring conditions in the future.

It is always depressing when things like this happen. I feel like the coal business has always been a very dangerous one and we need to be able to realize that no matter what we do to try and change things, they will somehow someway always be the old fashioned way with old fashioned dangers. I think we need to find a way these workers get safer jobs.

I just read an article about a mine collapse in China. Turns out there was a gas explosion and 33 workers were killed. I know that mining is a dangerous profession, but I can't imagine the instant of fear that comes before being incinerated. Then, there families have to wait weeks for their remains to be unearthed. The whole thing is really sad.

I really doubt the credibility of anything China says.   They are always out for money, workers are in jobs that aren't save, people have no decisions made on their own.  It's a communist country where the government rules.   Living conditions are terrible and I don't believe the branch of government that is responsible for safe working conditions do anything.   It's all just chatter for the rest of the world to rread.
