I'd probally still be mulling it over on my deathbed. So, in that regard, Respect to those that hold these positions and front up to the country about it. They make their decisions based on all the knowledge they can call upon and all the information they can gather. Then they live with it. Meanwhile fools rave.	Metla (12)

I for one certainly would not want to be responsible for sending in rescuers who had a very high chance of also being killed What absolute nonsense . :rolleyes: There are any numbers of living heroes both recognised and unrecognised . And nobody was sending anyone into the mine . The Rescue Team wanted to go but weren’t allowed . That’s the bit that riles me . No effort was made to rescue the survivors thanks to one man who came across on TV as being quite proud of himself .	B.M. (505)

Even if they wanted to go and understood the risks someone was still going to cop the blame.	icow (15313)
1261482	2012-02-26 07:44:00	Ok, let’s say we have a building on fire and it’s not known if people are inside. The Fire Brigade turn up but a policeman stops them entering the building because he thinks it might be unsafe. There are people inside and they perish because the fire brigade weren’t allowed to enter. Is that acceptable too? It’s the same damn thing. :(	B.M. (505)
1261483	2012-02-26 07:48:00	The police are still gonna get **** for it. Also there is a difference. With a fire you can visibly see if the whole building is on fire, therefore this information makes it easier to tell if there is a chance people are alive or not. No fire man will run into a building which is basically burnt to the ground at that very point in time. They had no way of knowing what the inside of the mine was like or not.	icow (15313)
1261484	2012-02-26 08:06:00	R.I.P to our helpless Miners who didn't get rescued. :(	goodiesguy (15316)
1261485	2012-02-26 08:56:00	The families and the gutter Media are grabbing at straws and will believe anything at the moment that best suits (supports) their cause :( Let us all wait until the experts finally enter the mine and determine what really happened down there.	Zippity (58)

I seriously doubt that entering the mine will reveal anything that isn’t already known. After all, they have some very good photos taken from a camera lowered into the mine through a shaft they drilled.	B.M. (505)

The Fire Brigade turn up...... :( The fire brigade use the same methedology as what was applied at the mine, They make safe/ensure its safe before entering. And they wil hold back. Thats why they have the water. And thats why we don't often hear of dead firemen.	Metla (12)

Thats why they have the water . And thats why we don't often hear of dead firemen . What absolute rubbish . The Police don’t stop the Firemen from doing their job regardless of the perceived dangers . The Firemen are the ones who are trained and they are the ones in charge . The Police just direct traffic . And it follows that a policeman shouldn’t have stopped the Mine Rescue Team doing the job they’re trained for regardless of his perceived dangers . If the Mine Rescue Team had said a rescue attempt wasn't on, then fair enough . They did'nt, they wanted to go in and weren't allowed . Considerable risk comes with some jobs and those that do them know that . 9/11 and the Twin Towers is excellent example where the lives of Fire Fighters and rescuers were lost, but the death toll would have been much higher if they’d all just sat on their hands . By the way, what’s your OSH Manual say about planes flying into high rise buildings? :lol:	B.M. (505)
