| 1154697 | 2010-11-20 19:44:00 | I would say at a guess that they are all dead. The blast would of killed them. The mining authorities know this but are not letting it out until it has been confirmed. :( |

| 1154699 | 2010-11-20 20:05:00 | No kidding!!! One thing I was taught with the emergency services is DO NOT TALK TO THE MEDIA . Lots of things happen that the meia are not made aware of this one is being handled pretty good, with the media blocked form getting in the way of the people who are doing what they should do . A chain of command releases information when needed, not when the media wants it . It works both ways, what about if you want help from media say to public to look out for a crook . Mess the media around and they may find some way to get back at you . The Chile operation showed how to deal with media . |

| 1154700 | 2010-11-20 20:21:00 | They're now reporting there's heat coming from the mine - so there's coal or gases still burning... one more hazard, but also potentially a way to reduce the methane - pity about the CO2 that it leaves behind though. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||

| 1154702 | 2010-11-20 20:58:00 | . stuff . co . nz/national/4368715/Rescuers-to-drill-into-West-Coast-mine" target="_blank">www . stuff . co . nz I found these bits interesting: :( “Police Superintendent Gary Knowles, the Tasman Police District Commander and the man in charge of the rescue, said they were still focused on getting the men out . ” Now why would you have a Policeman in charge of a Mine Rescue? ******* An international group of law officers had been set up to help the rescue mission, Knowles said . I’m sure that will be most helpful! :rolleyes: ******* And from a Miner: "If I had my way, I'd be down there and I'd go into the mine myself - I'm not scared or nothing - and I'd go and look myself, gas or not," he said . "We go and sit there and listen to what they tell us in the office, listen to that, and it's just the same old runaround-runaround . Excuses for why things can't be done, instead of trying to find solutions . " Amen . Typical New Zealand 2010 . PC-Fluro Jacketed-Bollicks! |

| 1154703 | 2010-11-20 21:00:00 | Unfortunately I think your correct. Officer Dibble and co know this.. They would have weighed up the chances of them being alive with the risk associated with sending people in. Its pretty easy to connect the dots.:stare: |

| 1154704 | 2010-11-20 21:09:00 | Yeah, for a couple of days. :rolleyes: If thats what it takes yes! You have simply no idea of what you are talking about. |

| 1154705 | 2010-11-20 21:14:00 | "Now why would you have a Policeman in charge of a Mine Rescue? " Simple, because coordination of search and rescue in NZ is their function. Read this and you may learn something......www.police.govt.nz |
