This past week has been a difficult time for the Kiwi's, and anyone else who has followed the story of the 29 miners trapped in a West Coast coal mine since Friday. Routine updates have been broadcast across all media channels and unfortunately there hasn't been much progress towards sending in a rescue team. As I write this blog update, we learn that a second explosion has occurred this afternoon and that all 29 miners would not have survived. It is a sad day and our thoughts are with the families and friends of all that perished.
