OT: The Sago Mine Disaster In West Virginia




The irony of it all is that the twelve miners

who died did NOT have to die. They could

have WALKED out of the mine; but there

was TOOOOOO much smoke and they

couldn't see at all. There was no obstruction

to exiting the mine; but the mine was filled

with smoke. And they could not see at all,

and thus they died. But I've heard that

dying by inhaling carbon monoxide is like

going to sleep. It is not painful at all.

I hope so, because not only did they not

deserve to die, but a painful and inhumane

death would have been the nail in their

coffin. I would think that in these times that

we live in; times when we can put a satellite/

and or probe on Mars and send a man to the

moon, that mining disasters would be a thing

of the past.

The families need to be compensated for their

loss; these are poor people; people who worked

hard for a living; and people who deserv to live

their lives out in whatever measure of happiness

they could muster.
