Trapped Welsh Miners

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-14938837

You always hear news in the media, but it never seem real until it hits home, .....infact round the corner from me. The road block you see on the news is literally up the road.

The mine itself is on top of the mountain, at the bottom is where I ride my bike.

Loads of 4x4s, some lovely land rovers, sirens, helicopters have been going most of the day.

I know some of you on here are linked to mountain rescue and the like and sure everybody's thoughts go out to all involved and to see them come out alive and ok.

I know it's work, and someone's got to do it, my grandfather was a blacksmith in a pit, but it's scary and I certainly would never do it.

Third miner found dead.

Not long until I finish work and head home, from what I've heard the atmosphere there is very tragic. We are quite a small town and very close, everybody sort of knows everybody.

Just hope for the fourth miner.
