I heard that they sat on the info "Until they could say with certainty that the lives were truly lost, in considering the emotional and physical drain of the situation."
Thinking about it, the last thing I would want to do is say "Stop celebrating, they are all but one dead!" and then find out later that three had survived, or even two. I have been in emotionally and physically draining situations, and the first thing that goes is communication. People shut down, trying to come to terms inside, and that causes big delays.
No, I don't think the mining companies sat on the bad news for a malicious purpose. They were probably trying to think of the best way to tell the public. Sadly, there is none.
I think that companies that do not do everything in their power to address worker safety are worse than Enron, Worldcom and all of those other fuckers that everyone is upset about. These guys should go to jail, and the media should hound them until justice is found. Notice how big the Enron scandal is; compare that with the aftermath of this industrial accident.
