I dunno. When the governor of the state saying it's true, a congresswoman saying it's true (on air) and relatives who got calls from mine officials saying it's true, that's pretty good confirmation. Unfortunately, all those sources were wrong, but as soon as *that* information came to light the media did their job and reported that as well.
I'm not saying it's not tragic, but the media did its job in this situation. Unfortunately, the mining company (yes, the mining company) initially got the wrong information out, and then failed to retract that information for 2 and a half hours after they knew it was suspect.
