Sad thing is they may never get the bodies out 
I have been watching & reading about it for days, I guess after what happen with the Chile miners you always hope they will be rescued but with the reading this morning it did not sound good. It looks like they knew all along hence no rescuers sent in.
I feel for the families & have read about the men & that young boy who started working there on Friday after his birthday the day before instead of Monday when he was meant to....things like this really make you feel helpless.

I knew 4 of the guys in there, one had older kids, two hand younger, and the last guys partner only found out she was pregnant on friday. I used to work with three of them and I am absoloutley gutted, they were all hard working men who loved thier families and wanted to go out and work so they could support them. This will be the end of the mine, they will probably have to seal it off to contain any burning material before they can recover the bodies, which means a long wait for the families involved. When you see your partner next, give them a hug and tell them you love them.
