Some stories really hit home.
For almost 2 weeks, we've watched the news of the mining tragedy in Utah. It's really been nagging at me. The above photo is of my Great Great Uncle, John Flood. He was killed in the Cherry Mining Disaster of 1909. On his third trip into a burning mine to rescue miners, he was killed. He received the Carnegie Medal for his bravery.
I've posted this photo before, but felt, in light of the recent tragedy, it was worth posting again.
It's just a little spooky to me.
Following that mining disaster, my father's ancestors moved to Chicago. 2 generations later, my Dad and several of his relatives found work as asbestos workers. That profession has claimed the lives of several of my relatives, including both of my parents.
At some point in time, we are going to have to find a better way of protecting our workers and average citizens.
Frankly, I'm sick of paying benefits to former members of Congress or the Senate who are in jail, while people face life threatening dangers on the job every day and are seriously underpaid.
Ok....I feel better having said all of this! Thanks for reading.
I send my prayers to those who are suffering in Utah.

Many years in the future, NASA will no longer be what it is today. Many worlds will be destroyed by their mining operations. However, the extraterrestial mining has run into problems with the native beings, forcing NASA to scale back and rearm their vehicles and miners.
What a great view out of your backyard! You get to see a fine
mountain. Except it's being eaten up by a mining operation. See it on this map.
The mining drills are controlled from this underground office. The miners can update Facebook, eat fruit and take charge when needed.
The gates for the mining depot in Milford Haven are no loger in use. So now its just a nice place to take moody photos
On a tour of old mine's - I'd ask what this was but the guy didn't know plus it was on the out side of the building but in photo Engine Hoist 3 you see a large pip just the left the window.

This small dry dene next to the main valley of Swaledale shows evidence of mining, although the sheep don’t look too concerned.

Robert Mueller, NASA senior technologist in the Science and Technology Projects Division of the Spaceport Systems Branch announces the on-site mining winners during NASA's 6th Annual Robotic Mining Competition award ceremony inside the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Saturn V Center in Florida. More than 40 student teams from colleges and universities around the country used their remote-controlled or autonomous robots to dig in a supersized sandbox filled with regolith simulant and participate in other competition requirements. The competition is a NASA Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate project designed to engage and retain students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields by expanding opportunities for student research and design.

We entered the one shaft we saw that was safe. Carefully made it to the end. There were 2 rail cars inside, a bit of moisture, many test drill sites and a few tiny cave ins. It was an excellent adventure.

After competing in the mining arena during NASA's 6th Annual Robotic Mining Competition at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, team members use vacuums to clear their robots of any dirt or regolith. More than 40 student teams from colleges and universities around the U.S. will use their remote-controlled mining robots to dig in a supersized sandbox filled with regolith simulant and participate in other competition requirements.

Exact Mining Services Kenworth T404SAR loaded with a Kenworth K104 after it broke down 30km South of Port Augusta. The T404SAR came up from Adelaide loaded with another K104 and dropped that off and loaded the broken down K104 on the back off the float.
