As we go about our daily business, can we all spare a thought for those 4 mineres in Swansea

[Bobbisox]

I hope and pray they get out alive...
my thoughts are with their families too

[Bobbisox]

very very sad indeed

[fliptheswitch]

Oh no, this is awful. I haven't seen the news for a few days, so I've completely missed this. My Dad used to be a miner.
Really awful :-(

Things looking bleak at that Mine now with 2 Bodies recovered but whilst there is hope all may not be lost

[paddywak]

Bad news all round bobbi,I know it's not any consolation but at least they are recovering the bodies. When a similar incident happened at the Lofthouse Colliery back in '73 I think it was, the bodies were never found. I remember seeing a documentary about it a few years ago and the brother of one of the lost miners was in tears at the thought of his brother being left in a colliery that had closed and built over

[Bobbisox]

it is so tragic, I think Miners have a dreadful job to do and admire them greatly

[rowanwitch]

Third body has been found

[Bobbisox]

Oh Dear this is terrible Rowan...how very sad for all concerned

[murraymints]

sad sad day..

[redman41]

Yes sad News indeed, that Mine must be a hell hole of a place for the Rescue Services to try and find the last missing Miner.

[Bobbisox]

I fear it is too late now Red... I sincerely hope not

[marval]

It is a very sad day, I do hope they find the fourth one alive. Unfortunately it is not looking too good. My thoughts and prayers are with the familes and other miners.

[emmie]

they are still looking for the fourth man, how terribly sad.

[Bobbisox]

you just can not imagine what this community is going through, can you?

[marval]

They have found the fourth body, what a dreadful tragedy.
