Thread Name: Lyr Req: Spring Hill Disaster (Maurice Ruddick)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Spring Hill Disaster (Maurice Ruddick)
At a time when we are all riveted by the survival and rescue of the Chliean miners, it would be good if North American media did some retrospective coverage of the Spring Hill story and the survival, rescue -- and true heroism -- of men like Maurice Ruddick and Caleb Rushton (the latter a distant relative of mine). It was partly the inspiring example of the miners of Spring Hill that led me to become a psychologist specializing in survival.
