Re: Welsh Mine Deaths

There are many dangerous occupations that men and women pursue, so that they can put food on the table and keep a roof over their head.
Sometimes it is not the fault of the owners of the mine, but human beings are fallible and sometimes make mistakes.......sometimes they don't follow laid down principles of safety.......they may cut corners in an attempt to make more money in their pay packet.(I am not saying that this is what happened in this case.)
The HSE will, I am sure, be investigating this death....and if it was caused by inappropriate action/ bad practice will make recommendations and may even prosecute.
