1154716 2010-11-20 22:10:00 Yes, I’ve seen them in charge of Coastguard Rescues too that I’ve been involved in.

Hence my lack of faith.

This is specialist work and well out of the league of a "West Coast Bobbie".

Certainly well beyond your league!

I love people like you who think they can do a better job! Your the kind of person we normally tie up and throw in some dark corner until the incident is over assuming someone does not lay you out first.:clap

1154717 2010-11-20 22:13:00 I know. Lets send Digby and BM down there!

This would stop them having time to bleat on here and have the added advantage that the Miners would be out with no further loss of life.

All positive I think.

1154718 2010-11-20 22:17:00 I'm with you Prefect .

What was the name of the Chilean police office who was in charge of their mine rescue effort ?

I wonder if you actually realise what the differances are between this and what happened in chile? Not talking about the rescue effort but about the circumstances of the mining incident that caused the rescue!

Short memory we had an Earthquake in Christchurch of a similer scale as the one in Haiti and other places and no one was killed .

There have been mine explosions in China and Russia where hundreds have been killed .

Your trying to say that because of your distrust of the Police that this rescue is not being handled properly? given what has been mobilised to the area to get find out answers of what has happened in that mine you disgust me .

1154719 2010-11-20 22:38:00 Some of the posts on this subject indicate a deep-seated dislike of the Police and everything they stand by, you'd have to wonder what's behind it .

Anyone with half a brain would understand that the rescue is being co-ordinated by the Police, who are being guided by the best information and advice that they can get . The Police Officer in charge would be the last person to hold himself out as an expert on mining problems .

Recent news on the subject underlines a big methane problem, and also mentions the risk of sending in robots .

Back off and leave it up to those with the nightmare job of trying to solve the issues .

Must remember that “Safety is Paramount” ;)

Show some respect.

Uhhh have you ever thought that all the "safety is paramount" stuff was brought about by dipshits who got themselves severely injured or killed?

So how do you account for there being more injured and killed these days than ever before? :confused:

Reference: ACC news bulletins.

Link? Is it a higher percentage of workers or just more workers? Maybe people just complain about little things these days to get ACC compensation.

I'm not trying to start an argument, just saying that there must have been something to start all this "PC gibberish".

1154725 2010-11-21 00:12:00 This mine is different to the one in Chile.
A coal mine has flammable gases and coal dust, neither of which
were issues in the Chilean case.

Some of you are behaving like wallies IMHO
