Superb post by Stephen Franks regarding the mining disaster.
Provoked by it I have two thoughts. There are families who want to be at the site, camping out, whatever. They want to be as near as they can to their loved ones, an understandable human impulse. According to an interview with a father yesterday they are being prevented from doing so. Until something as devastating as this event occurs you will not know how unfree you are in this country.
Two. There are fathers and brothers and others who want to go in, even against the odds. Perhaps they feel that they would prefer to lose their own life trying, than live it in the knowledge they did nothing - or were forced to do nothing. That is how I would be feeling if my son was down there.
I do not know how much longer the coasters are going to stand for this.

looks like Franks can't tell the difference between bravery and stupidity. I don't care how brave the volunteers maybe having them die or setup another explosion is not a heroic thing despite all those who believe otherwise.
