3. I'm surprised there were any alive. But the one makes the rescue efforts
worth. I hope that he makes it.

4. this is true but I am very angry about the false relief and joy
given to 11 families who went from unimaginable jubilation to utter betrayal and the bottom of sorrows depths. God be with them.

5. horrible reality that the miners live with every day. I am so very,
very sorry for these people and their families. If he has lung injuries from being down there, the survivor, I hope he can recover. There is nothing worse than that, especially for a young man. One of the miners was 61 and going to retire next April. Poor things.

8. Incompetence on ALL fronts: the state of WVa, the mine owners and the MSM
I swear, I have never seen such stupidity in my life -- especially by Anderson Cooper and Rita Cosby, all for eyeball$ and rating$.

The two bimbos should be canned, but I'm not holding my breath.

Happy fucking New Year indeedy (as one other thread subject reads). I'm going to bed...

9. I'll take 1 alive as opposed to 13 dead
Mine cave-ins are serious business and there have been many over the years where no one gets out alive. Let us be grateful for the one who did make it. Somewhere a whole family is still in place.

10. CEO: "Welcome to the worst day of MY life". Riiiiight.
That really rubbed me the wrong way.
