What Happened in West Virginia

I am saddened to hear what happened to the 13 miners in West Virginia, with only one surviving after the world was told that 12 of the 13 survived. Unfortunately, the reverse was true.
What is more troubling is that when the false information that 12 miners had survived, the mine owners knew 20 minutes later that the reverse was true, yet it took three hours to devastate the families even more.
It is a tradgedy that can not happen again.
A thorough investigation must take place and where the blame falls has to fall.
People can NEVER be made to go through what those families went through.
I am a diehard capitalist, but there is a point in which where the system does not take into account the humanity of people, we must stand back and do that on our own and this is one of those times.
Now we must pray for all the miners, their families and most of all the sole survivor that he can recover and move on with his life.
What a tradgedy.
