Miners trapped

[riskey58]

Has anyone heard about the miners being trapped? Last I heard they slowly getting them all out. They can only bring so many up at a time. But last i heard they were all ok.

Were there miner's trapped? I had not heard anything about it. I hope that they all get out safely though. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be trapped like that?

I haven't heard anything since before the weekend. In fact, the last I heard, the miners were all alright, and they were giving them air. The rescuers weren't, however, going to give them food, in fear that it would cause riots. I wonder if they eventually gave in and supplied them with food?

I also heard that some of them got out, but haven't heard any updates as of last week.

How many miners were trapped? I haven't heard anything on this. There must have been quite a few if they didn't want to give them food because they were afraid of starting a riot.

Last I heard I think there were hundreds. But they were all ok. They just could bring so many at a time. I have not heard anymore.

Now that is a lot of miners trapped. They must have had a heck of a big mine I would think to have that many people in it at one time. Thanks for the update.

I have not heard anymore on this. Has anyone heard anymore? The last I knew they were alright. I hate when something is all over the news and then it just diappears.

It was in fact 3,200 miners that were trapped in a mine in Africa. As far as I have read all were rescued and none were killed.
