Cut the post. Having it stare at me every time I went to check a link was too damn depressing.

This is definitely good news. But there seems to have been quite a few underlying problems, with this mine and the industry as a whole that caused this incident.
The real tragedy is that we still rely on an incredibly dirty fossil fuel to power our lives, when nuclear is both safer and renewable if used properly.
You can find all my reasons for preferring nuclear, as well as commentary about the Chinese coal situation (6500 deaths per year) at Earth Sentinel where you will also find peak oil, renewable energy, and climate change news.
It's hard to imagine the pain those poor families just had to go through. As if the situation wasn't bad enough, some incompetent schmoe at the mine couldn't even get "they're alive" or "they're dead" right.
I was so excited. Then so depressed. This year is starting to suck already.
This week in my hometown (v. rural Idaho), a guy went nuts and followed a pair of teenage girls home... They called their parents because he kept yelling, "Get out of the car so I can kill you!" The mom and dad tried to stop him by ramming into his car with theirs. The mom jumped out and ran toward the girls, and the creepy guy ran over her head and killed her.

God is gonna play it the way (s)he always plays it.
Nobody will like it, nobody will understand it and most will muster that weak tie-for-Christmas smile and say thanks.

Can't we do ANYTHING right?
As it turned out, that's exactly how the year's going to pan out.
K-
I don't live all that far away from where this happened. I have driven near Sago, WV on my way to other places.
What I find just increadibly sad is that this mine had 208 safety violations. This could have been prevented.
Sigh
