Just hoping that no-one on this site is caught up in the accident down south....
I hope they get everyone out safe and well.

One of my old work mates is down there, so that means more people from my work will be too...... 
I so hope they are okay, he is an awesome guy, but if anyone was to be down there then he would be best, he is so practical and level headed....
although he will be missing his smokes by now! (he is great at cheering guys up and seeing the lighter side)

Fingers crossed everyone gets out okay. I feel so sorry for all the families. The not knowing must be so awful.

I agree! How tough for the families. We live near it and know guys that work there. Hope they all get out ok.

I'm sorry to hear that Athalia, that must be awful to go through.
I hope they can get into the mine as soon as safely possible and get all the miners out soon.

Feel very sorry for them, just read an article on stuff of 2 brothers, one got out and ones still trapped but their grandfather died last night! Feeling for their family!
Hope everyone is still safe and gets rescued.

It is not looking good...Day 5 & no signs of rescue.
I have just watch it on TV3 & feel for the families.
They showed a plan of were they may be scattered & where the 2 that got out were. They believe there is a fire below.
 to all the families
