    Unfortunately blokes will be working in such places until they are 70 in a few years time.

    they've found one of them but not been able to identify the body yet.
    hopefully the others have managed to find a pocket of air

    This is so sad, it makes you wonder in this day and age why men should have to still go down mines.
