What are you on about :confused:

My comment was aimed at the inconsiderate idiots trolling and joking.

To answer your second question: They drilled through an underground reservoir of the River Tawe, IIRC.
 
This is very very sad.

My Mrs used to live near there and a few of her friends are providing tea and coffee to the hopeful public and services trying to help.

Some of the responses in here are disgusting. I swear some people say things to be controversial for the sake of it, without engaging the grey matter first.

Two miners managed to escape as the flood water engulfed the drift mine when a retaining wall holding back a body of water underground failed on Thursday.

Maybe they drilled into the reservior and had to put the wall up. could be!
 
unable to see why striderx hasn't been given a holiday for trolling but the admins minds are very confusing places.

Not much hope for the fourth guy, feel bad for the family and friends that have to deal with this.

RIP however being Miners they were all worthless obviously.
I wonder how worthless StriderX is on his high horse?

I would love to know why StriderX thinks their worthless because they are miners?
I expect that StriderX works in a office forgetting with out miners, his house wouldnt be lit or heated, He would have no metal / plastic furniture/ parts and there would be no fuel for his car, as the coal is used to create coke which one of its by-products is Benzole used to enrich petrol.

I hope they find the fourth guy alive, south wales has had enough industrial tragedies in the last 10 years (Pt Blast furnace number 5 and Kevin Downey inquiry finally being completed) but unfortunatly bad things happen to good people, whilst bad people seem to get away scot free

wouldn't supprise me it is a very old mine without the modern built in safety systems or escape accesss points. Very sad state of affairs, I know the owner was one of thoses trapped and his son only just got out. very sad state of affairs
 
Gutted to hear the news, i live very close by to it and never even realised there was a mine still operating there :o hope the 4th is found alive but I think the odds are very slim :(

RIP
