Sorry for trying to give the perspective of someone who actually worked underground before, I'll remember in the future, first hand experience need not be mentioned because it makes you a know it all, based on some of dlish's comments.

i could pull out all the quotes where you said youve been down there and how anyone who hasnt been down there doesnt know shit. i think with that sort of attitude, you're definately telling everyone who hasnt been down a mine to STFU and that theres no need to post their contributions. why would we contribute? you're the go-to man obviously.
if you actually read my posts again, what you'll see that my issue with this whole thing from the very start was the sensationalism surrounding the whole thing. reporters only converged on the mine only at the time of the rescue, and in a flash they were gone. ive said all along this is all about selling stories for the networks. Media moguls dont give a damn about safety. heck, dare i say it would have worked in their favour had their been a mishap or a few deaths down there.
what i have an issue is the disparity between the news stories of mining accidents in china vs this incident. i dont anyone remembers the heroics of the chinese miners a few months back. why should you right? In that case there was over 100 miners stuck in the mine for a week. they survived by eating sawdust, coal, paper and tree bark. some of them even strapped themselves to the walls of the shaft to avoid being swept away and drowned while they slept. when you compare the two stories, its easy to see that theres an obvious bias in the reporting process. chinese mining deaths dont sell newspapers, and the guys are probably back doing their old jobs again. they probably dont have football teams offering them free trips to play football against the worlds best teams, or people offering them trips to graceland and other destinations, they probably dont have a bookdeal coming up either. Thats why i dont buy into the bullshit of this beatup. There's no such thing as fair and biased in news stories. only agendas.
fwiw i think the pic that you posted gives a good insight into life down there.
