<<Why couldnt they have drilled a bigger hole and put a casement around it?>> That would have taken more time. They were looking to FIND the guys, hopefully alive. Then they'd drill the bigger shafts. <<Secondly, if they could MINE in that depth for years how come ALL OF THE SUDDEN its too dangerous to rescue? I know, the shocks and all killed 3 rescuers, but what are they doing wrong that causes this to happen NOW and not THEN. >> Same as people driving across the Bay Bridge for 30 years and then getting squished in a second.
