gnasher16 30,118 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 All 4 dead now,what a terrible shame......go out to do an honest days graft and end up paying the ultimate price.......i know absolutely nothing about mining so im probably talking bollocks but surely in todays times theres got to be some seriously strict health and safety guidelines in a game as dangerous as this how could something like this happen..... What a waste of good strong men....RIP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bootsha 1,306 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 The two most dangerous jobs in my opinion, deep sea fishermen and miners, absolutely f****n gutted for the famillies of the men, when you are brought up in a mining village and mining community as I was it cuts real deep. All the coal mining areas of the uk, Scotland,yorkshire, North east, South Wales heavy industrial areas, black country, thats all they knew, no choice, no other work about, generations side by side. All the people from these heavy industry and mining areas will know how it feels, how it hits a community, and how that community will pull together like you wouldn't beleive to comfort and support these families in their time of need.

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Coal not dole was the batttle cry Mining coal would never die, They marched and stood Miner's some times paid with thier blood, Coal in their harts and coal in their soul They fought to work not draw dole, One by one they closed them down, No more will the men go underground The valley's no more will wake to the sound Of collier's boots marching thru the town , We pay respect to soldiers who fall The injured the brave we salute them all, We some times need to reflect On ordinary lads who deserve are respect.

He, in his later tears, was buried alive twice...and his stories of his experiences was horrific. These brave people took risks and lived in conditions that most people could not even imagine. No words can ever replace your loss...R.I.P brave colliers! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
