Just talked to one of my buddies that works there. He says the rescue team which reached the miners in an area where they had erected a barricade radioed to another rescue team which had set up a station in the mine but in an area with good air , saying that they had found them. The call was made while wearing full breathing apparatus. This was as soon as they found the guys and they are trained not to say they are dead until after an attempt to revive. This call was to be only between rescue crews but media somehow got it and we know the story from there. When mine owners learned media was making false reports they didnt bother to correct the situation and instead stood back and allowed loved ones to be happy. UNFORGIVABLE!!! well, we know about the screw ups. now the cover-ups start. Evidently the mining crew had put on their respirators and were coming to the surface when they barricaded. I understand why they barricaded but really wonder what caused that explosion and will probably never know.
