perhaps they got it mixed up with ''12 alive, 1 dead'' rather then ''1 dead and 12 alive''

tbh, who believes the bit about being struck by lighting??

I mean, all British pits have lightning conductors on the top of the shafts to dispurse lightning damage.

Looks like a case for health n safety exec.

Very sad and an utter shambles yet again. I heard an interview only a day or so ago from the contractor leading the rescue operation and he was 100% convinced the operation was going according to plan and all would be saved.

Perhaps they mis understood what they were being told, and instead of being told that one person was alive, and 12 were dead, they took it as 1 was dead and 12 were alive...

I understand
