12 miners found

OOPS! Sorry, I didn't read the boards. I only posted. Switch it around. SORRY!

Well, now we have talk of lawyers and lawsuits.

And no one is blaming the AH with the CELL PHONES who began calling other people outside the command center...

The system was set up so that the rescuers would be using code words (there was a speaker phone set up in the center-so everyone coulkd hear the reports of the rescuers) when the miners were found.....dead or alive...


My theory?

Someone announced, over the rescue net that they found the miners..

People, as impatient as ever, just started dialing and passing on the bad info-never waiting to see what their status was.

Not a HUGE problem....

Tearing the hearts outta 12 families isn't THAT bad...

In my own brain I wonder if it didn't happen something like this: They found the miner who is alive and got him out. Mean while, they were checking the others for signs of life. Mean while, someone called and said they found one alive and were checking for vitals on the others and who ever got the call just assumed the others were alive too?
By the way, why did they have to wait hours to go get the bodies of the others but were able to get the one out then?

There are reports today, that they found letters to loved ones by the bodies. Such a sad sad thing!
