West Virginia mining accident and reporting

What a terrible tragidy in the first place. I find it so odd that in this day and age of amazing technology we still send men 300 feet underground for the purpose of mining for fuel. It seems such an old, worn out concept.

The fact that misinformtation was distributed, people got their hopes up only to have them dashed just makes this tragidy even more terrible.

There's nothing wrong with hope - even if hopes are dashed - but it sounds like it was a hopeless situation to begin with and communication failed. Such is the err of humans.
