night waking--and your question to dpr. Almost as if you knew. <BR/><BR/>Becca: Family stories like that are with us for life, and I believe, change the way we live and experience the world.

Went to sleep thinking all was well, but awoke in the middle of the night, and found that dpr was awake as well. I said, how many miners do you think are still alive? I don't know why I asked him that, but by morning we knew the answer. <BR/><BR/>Interesting story about the Black Maria.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1136504163144955122006-01-05T15:36:00.000-08:002006-01-05T15:36:00.000-08:00Interesting.

It sounds like a story from a different era, where men had no choice and children crawled down small tunnels.<BR/>I mean, there are dangerous jobs, but most of them have a purpose, like police officer, or fire fighter. This is just so pointless. Sorry, I'm ranting when this was such a heartfelt post...<BR/>I'll stop now.<BR/><BR/>My thoughts are with the families, the town, the survivor and all miners out there.Mellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461471128865537538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1136496108095382032006-01-05T13:21:00.000-08:002006-01-05T13:21:00.000-08:00Beautifully said, Patry.

The life of a miner has always been a remote entity to me, but when I heard the news about these poor men, I remembered a story from my school book when I was very young, maybe 6 or 7 years old.<BR/><BR/>It was about 12 miners just like these, trapped underground, not knowing whether they would be saved or not. It is a short and simple narrative of the men counting down a minute, from 60-0. A very long minute to them. A reminder that time is relative, but never stops, either.<BR/><BR/>Why this particular story left such an impression on me, I do not know, but I always think of it when I hear of a tragedy like this one. And a great tragedy it is.Kerstinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684657181509439771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1136487600536588562006-01-05T11:00:00.000-08:002006-01-05T11:00:00.000-08:00amen. i couldn't believe they'd been rescued, and ...amen. i couldn't believe they'd been rescued, and then it was wonderful to hear that they had. and then, i can't even imagine what those families felt hearing the truth.SarahJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497062670296130228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1136469389595014372006-01-05T05:56:00.000-08:002006-01-05T05:56:00.000-08:00hellothanks for dropping by my blog. i went throug...hello<BR/>thanks for dropping by my blog. i went through yours, especially the post where you talked of how addictive blogging is, the thrill of someone reading your blog is great.<BR/>nice blog you have up here.<BR/>keep reading mine!<BR/>regardsDeepa Bhasthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17189562311583907803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-1136467878683746732006-01-05T05:31:00.000-08:002006-01-05T05:31:00.000-08:00marilyn: Heartbreaking, yes, but it seems to have ...marilyn: Heartbreaking, yes, but it seems to have galvanized their anger--not only about having the truth held back for hours, but about the safety conditions in the mines.<BR/><BR/>Kathryn: Only days before the mining accident in W.V. someone had told me about the Black Maria, which I believe was mostly used in the depression. It seems an odd coincidence. Or not.<BR/><BR/>R: Can always count on you for a compassionate response. THank you for visiting.
