A couple of months ago the South Island also had a 7.1, 10km deep earthquake (same as Haiti) with no fatalities, thank goodness, and are still getting shallow aftershocks in the 4+ range.

Very sad ending. I hope they died quickly in the original blast and where not killed by this latest explosion.

Mining accidents seem to be all the rage just now in the press, I wonder why.

I wonder why to? As mining is all about risk, people die, it's just the way it is.

Yeah. News agencies reporting news. Fancy that.

**geniusxs81** · 11-25-2010, 06:45 AM

Loads of people die in mining accidents every year in many of the poorer countries, why don't they ever report them all the time?

The last time I saw such a complete lack of tact was the last time I contributed to any thread.

This is a minor incident compared to those threads.

It probably happens every 10 days or so. There are a lot of unstable mines in Africa ya know.
