Welsh Mining Accident
« on: 16 September 2011, 11:23:22 »
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

Thoughts go out to the families involved. :'(

Suspect this mine may now be consigned to history.
