Last Friday, the 19th of November, there was a huge explosion at a coal mine in New Zealands south island resulting in 29 miners being trapped! Until today there was still hope that they would be found alive and rescued but unfortunately there was a second explosion (much bigger than the first) that seems to have claimed the lives of all 29 men! Our deepest sympathies go out to the families and friends of those lost in this terrible tragedy. Our thoughts are with you.
