The Pike River Mine Tragedy!

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't wrote on my blog lately as I have been quite busy.
On November the 19th 2010 there was in explosion in New Zealand's Pike River Mine. Down in the mine was 29 miners working all aged between 17-50. There have been 3-4 explosions since which sadly mean that the 29 miners underground are dead. All they had was a packed lunch and a bottle of water each. The gas is so strong down the mine that the rescue team can't give the dead bodies of the miners to there families. On 1 december 2010 everyone in New Zealand was called to have 2 minutes of silence at 2pm to remember the miners. Our hearts go out to all the families and close friends of the miners. May you be in out prayers and hearts forever
