I think anyone in their right mind would have had a feeling of sadness for the poor little lad . Being trapped under ground is the stuff of night mares it's one of the reasons I can't get my head around why folk want to go into cave's and other underground sites.

Potholing would scare the life out of me. Did working in the pits not bother you?

I'd say going by the scratch marks from the bucket teeth there was a fair bit of rock to get through to, a total heart breaking story for all involved from boy and his family to every single person busting a gut to help them..

Their was one coalface that was only about 4 foot high though i did not work on it though went down it once and thought feck working on that scruaming up and down through hydraulic chocs. Only time i was truly scared when a large roof fall above the steel arch used to make tunnels in line with the face had appeared and the deputy asked one of us to go above the arch and chock it up with wood chocks to prevent further roof falls i admit to being a coward in refusing to go up as their was large lumps of rock hanging that could have dropped at any minute my first thought was i had two very young kids and thought about them first an older more experienced workmate went up into the cavity wile we passed him the wooden chock blocks up halfway through building it their was another roof fall and all went dark with the dust and noise we were all shouting and screaming for our work mate who we were convinced would be dead when the dust cleared by some miracle he had escaped serious injury bar a large cut under his chin when a lump of rock had hit a length of timber that caught him. For a few year's after leaving the pit i had the odd nightmare about this incident.

You weren't a coward mate. You did the right thing. 100%.
