Pike River Mine Disaster - My Article

A Gas Explosion - Traps All

One Friday the 19th November 29 men got stuck down in the Pike River Mine. The youngest is only 17 years of age, he was eager to start work at the mine. The oldest miner was a 64 four year old. They are stuck down there because of a gas explosion. If they put a camera down into the mine, they are fearing that they will cause another explosion. The mine is located 46km northeast of GreyMouth. Halfway between GreyMouth and Reefton. The drill has to try and get through 150m of solid rock. A team of Australians are in ChristChurch, should the Mercy Mission need them ?
