Talk about a up...
i wish there was something i could do. they'll be in my prayers.
Talk about a up...
Man, I feel sorry for these people. They called everyone and said that their relatives were alive and now they are really deadWhat a screw up.
yea, imagine the kids thinking their dads were ok afterall, the rest of the family, then just a complete turnaround, just like that, the worst.
How does someone take in that information?
This story has been all of the world for the last 3 hours... you mean to tell me that someone with authority that really knew wtf was up couldn't walk up the ing hill and say... this is only speculation, there is no confirmation....... WTF?
That's what I was asking myself.
press conference right now

well... it seems that some dip didn't understand something and jumped to conclusions and it made everyone think that they were alive...
They could've prevented this by putting an AP camera on the scene and making more frequent statement releases instead of trying to keep the media secluded...
This whole thing is fubar...
Why in the didn't they just steam roll into the mine when the happened with some type of mask, gear, equipment, etc..?????????
It seems that there weren't many obstacles in getting to them....
I don't understand the coalminers...
Omg this is horrendous. My heart truely goes out to those families who after thinking they were living in a nightmare had hope again, only to have it pulled right out from under them.
I cant imagine the pain and suffering they are going through now. My thoughts and prayers are with those families.

Suicide Watch...
this mofo knew the info was not correct and sat on it.....
damn...............
The CEO found out the initial report was incorrect and didn't say anything... he just let the families believe everyone was alive...
I dont understand how a miscommunication could go on for so long...
What's he supposed to say, some are dead, some might be alive we don't know who or how many, so just sit tight?
Read my previous post.. all he had to do 2 1/2 hours ago was to come out and say there is no confirmation of anything, please don't jump to conclusions, as soon as we are sure who is alive, we will notify the next of kin.
Book it.
He ed up.
Very sad news indeed...my thoughts and prayers to ALL the families...
Something like this, yes. He's saying he found out twenty minutes after the incorrect information was given but that they didn't know what exactly who was alive or dead. Seems to me you make sure the everyone knows that the previous story is incorrect, you don't wait three hours.
A lot of ass covering is going on by the company and the governor.
The governor is doing a good job right now, I think....
There never was an official report...
I was watching CNN when some dude ran by Anderson Cooper and said 12 Alive.. 12 Alive...
Then 3 hours later, some lady walks up and is pissed... He told her WTF? who told you they were dead? I was like holy .. unbelievable.
I can't believe what has just happened (with all the confusion and "rollercoaster" of emotions that the families have gone through). I pray for those families of the victims, I pray for the recovery of the individual that survived, but most of all I pray that the victims did not suffer greatly in the last moments of their lives.
Also, the fact that officials knew ahead of time of worse news than victims families were aware of makes me cringe.
How did you come up with calling that a "fact"??
It's a rumor.
The governor and the CEO said they knew 20 minutes after the initial reports that all 12 were alive that it really wasn't the case -- but they didn't know exactly what the cir stances were exactly.
True.
I think I had heard that updates were given once every two hours during this ordeal.
Obviously, there is more than meets the eye in a rescue mission such as this, but I think the process of rescuing in no good.
Why couldn't they hae done like you said and bulldozed right in, right away.
If we used other sources of energy, these guys would have never been down there digging coal.
Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda..
I would like us to go away from oil and coal, but that is another debate for another day.
My thoughts and prayers are with all involved along with everyone else.
Just got home from working all night. Had no clue about this whole thing. It is just sad for the families and my prayers go out to them.
But, how in THE could the media, or whoever, screw up the report so badly?!?!?!?
Its just sad and frustrating!!
oh my goodness.
this is just the most horrible thing.
can you even imagne what those faimlies were going thru???
I ahve to agree with Sequ... if they knew that the report wasn't correct the least they could've doen was go out and say that "nothign had been confirmed, we don;t know who is alive or dead just yet, hold your horses"
not too ign hard to say that. but these sick mofo's want to just let everyone go on clebrating and waiting in expectation to see thier loved ones.
sick.
I just read that them miscommunication was caused because someone overheard on the phone that "they've found 12 of the miners" and took that to mean they were alive and went to the press with it.
Horrible ending to a horrible event. Can you imagine how that one survivor is going to feel? He is one very, very lucky man. Does anyone know how he managed to survive, while the others didn't?
