Miners trapped in Wales

[Sheets Tabuer]

4 people apparently.

The interview on sky news was rather enlightening.

Kay Burley: What is the colliery used for.
Rescuer: It's a coal mine.

Hope they get out alive and she finds use as a pit prop.

Lol at the questions she was asking, is she 5? Also she asked what sort of skills do the rescue team have???? SKILLS IN RESCUEING PEOPLE YOU RETARD

Stupid cow

[ZOLLAR]

That's about 4.1 miles away from my house, never knew there was an active mine nearby.
I can pop up later and tell the reporter to sort her act out if you like?, better still I'll do the reporting

[BeansOnToast]

Hope they are rescued safe & sound. I wonder if they will get free hospitality at Man Yoo?

Here's hoping they will be OK and get to see the Welsh boys chalk up a few wins in the RWC.

The BBC will fly them out as an anti-Thatcher rent-a-mob, don't you worry

[jmorgan]

Reading some of the updates, it is a bit worrying.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Yeah, seems it's flooded.

Here's hoping they managed to find somewhere to escape it

[Jasandjules]

Hopefully they will be safe and sound.

Heard the same.. Didn't sound good

[eddharris]

That's bad news. How long would it take to dig a tunnel into Wales?

[Thom987]

Hope this one has a happy ending.

[Mr Sparkle]

If the tunnels are stable but flooded couldn't the rescuers just send in some divers? Haven't seen any information about the water levels etc. (?) Anyone know what the rescue plan might be?

[uk66fastback]

Pumping out the water currently - but who knows where they are - or whether they managed to find safety down there. All four are experienced guys apparently - although whether that counts for much as water is chasing you along a seam fk knows.

Here's hoping they're okay.

They tried sending divers in, but the visibility was zero so they are going to pump out as much as they can before trying again.
