Thankful

Rescuers Find Bodies of 2 W.Va. Miners

MELVILLE, W.Va. - Two men trapped in a West Virginia coal mine
made a "valiant effort" to escape, but were blocked by scorching heat and thick
smoke from a conveyor belt fire that also prevented rescuers from finding their
bodies for two days, the director of the state mining agency said.


Can I just thank how thankful I am the we don't have jobs that put us in this kind of danger? I can not imagine how the families of miners deal with sending their loved ones off to work on a daily basis knowing that this could easily be their reality. It brought tears to my eyes to see that they didn't find them alive. I guess I knew they probably wouldn't, but being the ever-optimistic Beth, I was hopeful they would.

i know what you mean, it's sad :( probably wouldn't take each other for granted so much if your spouse had a dangerous job.
