I'm about 2.5hours from this mine... so I know about how the country side is setup and its mountains, mountains and more mountains! Hard to get around that's for sure!

This will turn into a story like that last mine accident 4 years ago...

the death toll went up high over night... talked to a guy today that has a family member that works at that mine but wasn't in it at the time of accident.

He did say that the mine is rather safe and setup pretty good so don't buy into all the media's hype on the mines safety record. Looking into the industry as a whole this company is one of the safest.
