West Virginia coal mine tragedy

LAJennifer Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,168 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2005	My prayers to all the familes of the West Virginia coal miners. _____________________________ "Hello Dollies" Combine 1 stick melted butter and 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Press in greased 9x13 pan. On top, layer 1 package chocolate chips, 1 package peanut butter chips, 1 12oz can lightly salted peanuts. Top with 1 small can sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free big deal!). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (the edges should be bubbly). I recommend not cutting them until the next day because it seems to take that long for the graham cracker bottom to really harden.

Very sorry that one miner lost his life, but so glad to hear the other 12 are alive. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

MiniMouse Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,013 Last Post: 11/5/2007 Member Since: 12/1/2004	Oh my word, the horror that the families have been put through is beyond belief. They had hope, then believed their loved ones were alive, then they're told they're dead. How devastating. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

They all believed their loved ones were alive and were rejoicing, only to hear that all but one had perished. So sad. My heart goes out to all of them.

When I heard it on the news they were still reporting twelve survivors and one lost. -Matatora Courage is the price that life extracts for granting peace Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

I cant imagine what those families felt when they were told the truth after believing the opposite. I will pray for them. My favorite color is sparkle!!!

SanDiegoLady Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,203 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 7/6/2005	What a terrible tragedy. How incredibly sad, it just breaks my heart. How the news media could have been so irresponsible for reporting what someone said, versus actual fact. To go from one extreme of sadness to uphoria of hearing there were 12 alive and then to find out they weren't, how incredibly awful and irreponsible not to have confirmed information. I cried all the way to work this morning, those poor families... bless thier hearts.

pearcrazy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,438 Last Post: 11/27/2008 Member Since: 5/16/2004	It's unfortunate but in this case I don't think the news media is entirely to blame. A mine foreman made the announcement to some of the families who were waiting in the local church that 12 men had survived. That message was relayed to the news media. I think the news media like the families assumed that the mine company was relaying accurate information. It's what all of us wanted to hear. The miscommunication came somewhere between rescuers in the mine and the mine officials on the other end of the radio. I read that they may have assumed that when they were told the miners' vital signs were being checked that they were alive instead of being checked for signs of life. Very, very sad. There is however one family that will not have to bury a loved one and one family who had their prayers answered.

MissGotRocks Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,582 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 6/23/2005	Such a tragedy - I am so sorry for the anguish these families must have felt but yet I am sure it was an honest mistake. I hope with time that the pain of that mistaken report eases for them - I am sure I would feel just the same way they do though.
