Can't believe that we haven't got a thread already going on this.

At the moment four miners are still trapped by water down the Gleision Colliery drift mine by suspect water. I was firstly shocked to hear that there were mines still opperating in south wales commerically, thought the trade unions and marget thatcher had killed them all off.
I have to admit my first thought was more about how this may effect my company in securing planing permission to open a drift mine under the port talbot hills. Felt kinda guilty after that.
My thoughts go out to the guys down at the mine and hope the situation is resolved quickly and with good result, last thing south wales needs is another industrial death.
