Not a nice thing to happen but I was looking into this place as its a pretty unusal and small affair:

I was pretty surprised by the info in the above link, very small and seemingly very old fashioned.

looks like Health & Saftey forgot about that one, too busy saying I can't have a fan on my desk!
Does not look good, hope they get out ok!

Not at all a nice thing to happen. I feel for the guys and sincerely hope they can be rescued alive.
When we first saw it on TV we thought it must be somewhere like China. They are very extensive workings and pretty old fashioned. :o :o :o

one gone already :'(

we are getting constant updates on the local radio its not too far from me either. One of the girls I work with lives just up the road from it and had trouble getting past all the emergency vehicles.
Just hope that the remaining few get out safe

R.I.P All four Swansea Valley miners
There's a cry in the Valley's, tears in the west, mourning the heroes, that wear the pit vest. Underground grafters, always put in a shift. Below in that hillside, in that deep, dark drift. They ain't coming home to their children or wives. The mine once again, takes away cherished lives. The coalfields of Wales, all unite in your mourn, we're all of the same breed, we're pit village born. May the heroes sleep peacefully and families stay strong. So So Sad, R.I.P Boys. :'(
Nos da bechgyn. :(
This I saw posted elsewhere and it touched me. :'(
