Pike River Mine Disaster

I'm sure you have all heard about the Pike River Mine disaster over in New Zealand.
31 miners were caught in an accident while at work on November 19, 2010.
There was an explosion caused by the methane gas and carbon monoxide present in the mine. This left all miners trapped. 2 emerged from the disaster but 29 miners are still trapped inside the mine.
The gasses present in the mine have left little chance of survival.

On November 24, at approximately 2:37pm NZDT, there was a second explosion which more than surely killed all miners.
Recovery of the bodies is said to potentially take months.

I made this post as a small tribute to the men that lost their lives and to their family and friends.
One of the miners was aged 17 and it was his first day on the job.
