At 3:10 AM we all found out that all info was wrong and only one is holding on to life. This whole operation has been a complete fiasco from the beginning. Some heads need to roll because of this miscommunication.
saddened by this latest news,

Wasnt that just something? I feel so bad for those families that had to go through all that turmoil.

I had seen your post and quickly put on CNN. Watched it for a few minutes and then went to tell hubby that they were found alive. And then a few hours later checked back to CNN to find that the information was wrong. How heartbreaking that was.

Yes..I agree.. something went horribly wrong with communications there.

Communications is only a small part of what went wrong. What a tragedy; we feel for the families....

I don't know how those men could work under those conditions. I know I couldn't stand it. Just the thought of being trapped down that far in the ground gives me the willies. I have all the admiration in the world for men that can do that kind of work day in and day out.

All we can do now us offer prayers for their families to sustain them through the days and months ahead. Wish there was more I could do for them, but don't know what it would be.

I've worked underground before and don't care for it. All of my time underground was spent surveying for conveyor belt alignment coming out of or into the mine. I had an uncle that was killed in a roof fall. Being from WV I have a lot of family in the mines. This really hits home when it happens.
