    South Wales mine rescue

    There is a major operation ongoing at the moment to rescue 4 miners who are trapped in a mine 90 metres below the surface. It appears that water broke into the mine from another shaft and has flooded the passage ways. Hopefully the 4 miners have found an air pocket. The mine is about 20 miles north east of Swansea in the Swansea Valley.
    My thoughts and prayers are with them and their families.

    Part of me comes from Welsh colliers. Got my fingers crossed that things end happily.
