Utah Mine Disaster and Responsibility?

Question

Ok how many lives have to be lost to find the 6 lost miners or do you think that mabey it should be there buriel ground and close the mine ? myself i think it was unsafe and the owner was and is hiding his negligence in this disaster.

Answer 1

I think the rescue went on way too long. A few days was acceptable. But after drilling all the holes and no response and after so many days. I think they were only trying to recover the bodies which is great but they should have done it in a manner more safe since they didn't need to rush.

This is no disrespect to the families of the first miners. My heart goes out to them.

Answer 2

Unfortunately you, and, I and, the rest of America shares equally in the deaths of these brave men. As long as America needs coal there will be those who are brave enough to mine it. If these were your loved ones trapped beneath the ground would you give up trying to find them? Miners know the risks they are taking. If the miners knew the mine was unsafe I believe they would have raised some warning prior to the first cave in. The real question should be how many more mine disasters will there be before America finds an alternative energy source?
