Mining Disaster

On April 25, the Beaconsfield goldmine in northern Tasmania had a significant rock fall due to seismic activity measuring 2.1 on the Richter scale. The rock fall led to the death of miner Larry Knight, 45, and the of trapping two other mine workers — Todd Russell, 35, and Brant Webb, 37 — 925 metres underground.

And you KNOW who rescued them don't you?
