...but they can't dig out the remains of people from a mining disaster?

The dinosaurs didn't know what they were getting themselves into. The paleontologists knew the dig sites were relatively stable.
The miners knew what they were getting themselves into. Maybe not 100%, but they knew. So did their families and friends. Significant job-associated risk is an accepted fact in any type of mining.
The rescuers knew the odds and used all reasonable means at their disposal. For whatever reasons, they failed. The rescuers didn't switch their focus to recovery of the miners when they should have. Rescuers are now amongst the casualties needing recovery.
Rescue is no longer an option. It's all about recovering the victims now. Let's just hope that the casualties don't need to be carbon dated before this phase is completed. The survivors' loved ones, and all others involved, deserve closure.

remains of dinosuar are not time bound job and can be done at the pace they set.
but mining disaster involes life and accumen of engineering where to dig. how much to dig with what to dig and upto what time go on digging.
So this will be very responsible as well as emotional work. it may take irritating delay but they will find ... be patient

Because when they're digging for bones they're just digging a big pit in the ground. But when they're going into a mine they're going into a tunnel under the ground with lots of earth above it. And as you know mining tunnels obviously do collapse once in a while..

seriously there is something wrong with that picture...no prob digging up dinosaur bones. but they have issues with getting the remains of people that died in that mining disaster. the priorities seem really screwed up to me.

I wish I knew. Maybe a bunch of archaeologists could have helped them. It's really sad. I'm claustrophobic and the idea of those poor guys down there is very upsetting to me. I hope they at least get to their remains so the families can give them proper burials. Can't they wear some sort of electronic device that emits a signal so miners can be located in emergencies like this? I think they should. This hit & miss drilling routine is antiquated.

Digging for dinosaur bones is a labor of love.

I agree and why can't they dig for the remains at World Trade Center Site (Ground Zero). There are still hundreds of bodies not identified

I know, my heart goes out to all involved in the mining disaster. If they excavate, the mountain is so unstable that it will collapse. At first I was angry too, looking up the news daily, Then after 21 days I began to understand. Peace and love to all involved!!!

Dinosaur bones are generally dug from the surface. Mines are usually very deep holes in the ground, often many miles underground and though shafts that may have become unpassable.

I've been wondering the same thing. Have you talked to Mace about this?
I was watching the news and didn't people get killed actually looking for the miners. This is happening year after year; Something really needs done about this.
