    Curious... how well does a modern coal miner get paid? I assume when the consequences of failure are so harsh (pressure cooked and poisoned 2km into the earth is right on up there in my book) that they're on a reasonable wicket yeah?

    The base salary is around 70-80 but they also get a production bonus every month depending on the amount of coal produced at their mine so can earn towards 100k.

    That is correct, if indeed the 29 were still alive, they would not have survived the 2nd explosion.

    R.I.P.

    Those hard working men who have lost their lives.

    Goodbye Danny. You were a lovely man and it was a pleasure to have known you. My thoughts to those loved ones you have left behind.

    do they not give a shit about privacy

    those seagulls have kept those of us not able to be there informed...though one never believes all one reads.

    29 men are dead, 29 familes have had a harrowing time and now...now they will need to grieve and say goodbye.

    it is....I agree. We all know they are in pain and I for one do not need to see a mother's/wives'/childs' pain displayed upon my TV....channel changed. Now to go and embrace my family and enjoy the time I have with them.
