Very sad day.

I will keep it short – many others will write much.  This disaster happened in the town in which I was born therefore I have a personal connection.

We seem to have had way too many mine disasters in the last few months, globally.  If I am not mistaken, New Zealand has suffered the greatest loss of life of those.

My thoughts are with the families and all others involved directy and indirectly in this sad event.
