Chilean mining accident happy ending

What an exciting piece of good news! The breaking news of all 33 miners saved from the collapsed mine is the major broadcast of yesterday.

When the miner gets out of the chute, the whole world rejoice. The miners survive the initial despair and battle the hardship for 2 months. Thank goodness to their politicians that they are willing to spend the millions to save them.

Mining accidents happen frequently worldwide, many of the mining accidents can be prevented. Most of these incidents are due to poor maintenance, poor management, and poor safety knowledge.

Let us hope the world wide politicians monitor the mining working conditions, ensure their mining owners accept safety as top priority management requirement.
