Re: Mine in New Zealand gets caved in

New Zealand got on the news? Is that a first?

EDIT: Come here Lucario, there's another complaint for you to count...

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Nah, I saw the earthquake by Christchurch on the news when that happened.

Any word on how many miners are dead/trapped?

Re: Mine in New Zealand gets caved in

People need to stop mining for the following reasons: 1.It ruins the earth 2. It's dangerous!

Re: Mine in New Zealand gets caved in

People need to mine, even if it is dangerous or "ruins the earth"
Without mining, we wouldn't have iron, salt, oil, coal, copper, diamonds, and alot of other material

And I agree with turntechGodhead. Someone needs to save them, dude (You know, assuming that miners were in the mine)

Re: Mine in New Zealand gets caved in

Oh yeah, it wasn't in Christchurch. I forgot where the mine was.
Also, they said that they wouldn't expect to find a miner for a couple days.

Why? You're getting annoyed because someone's stating a true opinion? You would rather ride a horse and buggy instead of a metal car?

Well thats your choice
However, millions of people would disagree, and we therefore need to supply metals and other materials found in mines to manufacture cars (Along with a countless amount of other things). Which makes it pretty much impossible to just stop mining, anyway

Re: Mine in New Zealand gets caved in

Thats quite a ridiculous way to end a discussion about mining
But whatever, I could care less about it

So, PCKid, were there any miners in the mine when it caved in?

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Oh...

Anyways, I saw a thing about it on the Wii News Channel. 29 miners trapped, and rescuers can't get to them because of methane in the mine, so they have to wait until that clears up.
