IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN THE COAL AND PROFITS OF A COMPANY. MSHA WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS TRAGEDY
AND I FEEL CHANGES ARE OVERDUE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
Hallelujah! We're saved!
We have audio and visual contact with people on the moon...... but we can't come up with at least some kind of signaling devise for the miners..??? I believe that man can do almost anything they put their minds to. We have proved that. How about some more effort in this direction.
My heart is aching for the families and friends directly experiencing this nightmare. Many share your pain. We are praying for you.
That has turned this tragedy into a horror show. How can we send people into potentially dangerous places with NO means of tracking or contacting them?
The whole world has been watching this supposedly intelligent, supposedly rich in technologies nation play guessing games in matters of life and death. We've been punching costly, time consuming holes here and there in "attempts" to locate people---while the whole world is punching holes in our boasts of technical expertise and more importantly our GREAT concerns for people.
How ridiculous. Friends and foes alike are aware of faults and deficiencies.. and this one is a shame.
