Default Body found in Tasmanian gold mine

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/...html?from=top5

An event that really plays on our deepest fears. The search continues for the other 2 guys. Many friends of mine work in gold mines, the look on their faces when talking about this accident really does send a chill up your spine.

Thoughts go out the 2 guys still trapped, their families, coworkers and the community in general.

This is really sad.. my heart and thoughts go out to all co-workers, family and friends.

I saw a news headline thing before and I know what you mean about the chill down the spine..

such a tragic loss of life and the waiting to find out how the other 2 are is terrible for everyone concerned....

I grew up with one of the guys trapped and have family members who also work there. Apparently the tremour that caused the incident was felt for 5km's around the area.

I hope that they find the other two workers. I really gotta give it to miners, they have alot of guts to do what they do.
My thoughts go out to the familys and co-workers
