Description

Twenty-nine families have been hoping, praying, waiting to hear good news and now they've heard the most terrible news of the 2nd mine explosion.

29 miners trapped in the Pike River coal mine New Zealand after an explosion on the 19th of November 2010. Rescue could not be undertaken as the gas levels were high and trying their best to get in with robots, but on the 24th November 2010 a 2nd explosion made it extremely unlikely that any of the miners were still alive, as the magnitude of the second explosion and the high levels of toxic gases were too great for anyone to be able to survive.
There was a total of 5 explosions.


My thoughts are with the Family's and my Country.
