This is a terrible terrible tragedy made worse by the false news given to the families that 12 of the miners had survived.

My condolences to the families of those men.

It is so shameful that money was considered more important than human life. I hope that changes are made that avert a repeat of this tragedy elsewhere. But if no changes are made-such as substantially increasing the fines mine owners have to pay for safety violations- this tragedy will happen again and again.
