After the tragedy that hit a West Virginia coal mine a few weeks ago, now fear strikes family and friends of yet another West Virginia coal mining community. Two more coalminers are trapped inside of a mine because of a fire that erupted.
My prayers go out to everyone, and I hope that everyone gets out safely.
Many years ago my grandfather worked in those West Virginia coal mines. I can only imagine what it is like to work inside of one.

I'm totally with you on this one! My prayers are with them and their families!
very sad indeed
I have been praying but it appears the outcome is not to be what we had hoped and prayed for. We need to continue to pray for the families of this latest tragedy and those of the Sago mine disaster as well. Many had young children. I hope something will be done to improve the safety in these mines. I have worked in hazaderous environments myself, a gas hydrocarbon processing plant that processed poison gas. I know the knowhow and technology exist to improve the safety.
I lost my own father when I was 10. I know what can lay ahead for these children. In fact, we need to pray for all the children who, due to disaster, war, or other, have lost a parent. And for the spouses who must go on and make new lives. There is so much pain, so much sadness, such hard days ahead for them.

BWoody-I'm sorry to hear about your loss. My mother lost her mother when she was twelve. I can't even imagine what that must be like. I agree with everything you said 100%
