It seems the media has moved attention away from the poor victims and their families ever since Michael Vick and Larry Craig pleaded guilty to bringing dogs into airport bathrooms or whatever it was.
What's going on with the miners? Are they just going to leave them? They have to recover the bodies, for the families' sake.

Yes, they are going to leave them where they have died. I guess I don't understand why each miner doesn't have some kind of GPS system on their body so they can find them? I think if this would have been on each miner, maybe there would have been a chance they could have been saved. Drilling random holes would have been a true miracle had it worked!

Michael Vick and Larry Craig (who seem to share the same lawyer now, hmm...) have nothing to do with the coal mining accident or the end of its coverage. The matter is over and there is nothing to cover.
When my brother was killed by some scumbag doctor, there wasn't any media to show the world! They don't need the coverage. Those men and their families knew the dangers.
And just like the bodies that were left in the WTC, they can't be recovered because they're under tons of rubble.
Though I would still like to know if the 3 Mexicans who died in the accident were illegal or not.

they're making a memorial on the mine the place they died. They spent like $a million million slightly for each hollow and drilled 8 holes so as that they did all they could do. They reported the oxygen point become too low interior the final hollow yet they have been nevertheless attempting to rescue the bodies. unhappy isn't it?

Status Que
The bodies are buried in the mine, the owners will cry to Congress and the families will get as little as the law allows. That guy Murry and the other owners should serve jail time for killing 6 people. The men were their to support their families and make Murry rich.
We need the fuel and the men and women that work in coal mines, but any worker that is killed at work, their families need protection and the company should continue to pay the salaries and compensate them, but they will try to screw them out of any compensation

nothing, its too dangerous to start mining because it looks like the mountain is too unstable and the type of mining they did was asking for a disaster. After this much time if they haven't made contact with the 6 or 7 holes from the top there is probably no chance for them to be alive.
Robert, GPS is based on radio waves and multiple signals to triangulate the position, no signal is going to reach that far down underground.

No, they do NOT have to recover the bodies. There have been many instances of mine disasters where the bodies were not recovered. If they can't re-enter the mine without getting more people killed, they will just seal it off and build a memorial at the surface.

Tragically, They have given up. Two more men died trying to save them. I guess the mine will be their burial site. I feel sorry for the families, but how many should die to retrieve bodies.
btw Mines are not a politically divisive issue. Republicans do not want unsafe mines.

What's your recommendation? Risk more lives trying to recover the bodies?

All I know is that the company has agreed to close that mine if there is no sign of life found. Also, the extrememly porous mining laws are NOT changing.

Other men would probably die trying to dig and rescue them. Didn't two die already in a cave in?
