to families, friends and comrades of those who have perished, i wish you well, i hope that the company and the authorities can learn from this horrible disaster. From one miner to another, i am truely sorry my brothers, one day you will be united again.

This is one gigantic horrible mess!

I pray now for the families and friends of those who have died - that resolution and comfort come out of this, during these early days.

Christmas will never have the same meaning again!!!

One poor victim was only 17 - on his first shift - in his first mine!

It is terribly sad.

The last few, where miners have been rescued, are the absolute exception to the rule. This is the awful reality.

Mining, and tunneling are incredibly dangerous occupations, done by very brave men & women.

Spare a thought for EVERY miner, not just these 29 poor souls. Every day is a day their families could lose a father, mother, daughter, or son.

Rest well brave men, your toil here is done.

The last few, where miners have been rescued, are the absolute exception to the rule. This is the awful reality.

Too true Dale: the recent Chilean and Chinese entombed miners were sourcing nickel and gold.

This one by comparison, re: coal seams, is riddled with methane/ethane gas.

The sombre mood around Greymouth atm must be 'deafening'.

...stopped over for 1 night there in '93

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
