We've got rescue teams under way, and we're trying to get some holes drilled to get air samples.
accidents fatal involved people situation
I've been here for 20 years. I have been involved in fatal accidents for 12 or 13 years. I have never been involved in a situation where we had notes. I've never been in a situation where we had 12 people killed in one event, either.

There's no one in the mine at the moment. There has to be some rehabilitation work done at the mine for the underground investigation. The ventilation has to be restored.
however
We don't want to make mistakes. However long it takes, we want to get it right.

air depends
A lot of it depends on the circumstances and how big you are and how much air you suck.
