I guess the left will blame Bush for this disaster and the right will blame the Chineez but the fact is working underground will always be dangerous. RIP 1: At around 0630 local time Monday workers are heading to work in the mine when an explosion occurs, reportedly in a disused section. A six-man crew head back to the surface to raise the alarm, but 13 others are trapped. 2: Mine superintendent heads in to investigate but is forced back by dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide 3: Rescue teams inch their way into mine, and late Tuesday find body of man who had been working on coal conveyor belt. 4: Transporter vehicle, abandoned by 12-man crew, is found 700ft (210m) from body. 5: Meanwhile, small holes are drilled down from surface to expected position of trapped miners. Tests show air quality is poor, although camera reveals tunnel is intact. 6: All but one of trapped miners found dead behind heavy cloth barricade, put up in attempt to keep out carbon monoxide-laden air.
