So sad for the men who lost thier lives. R.I.P. My heart goes out to the families and friends who will never see thier loved ones again. 
Terrible news, such a waste and a tragedy, those poor families Hope they are surrounded with loved ones and support at this terribly sad time.
Hope they are surrounded with loved ones and support at this terribly sad time.Such a sad day for the coast and Aotearoa NZ. We are all thinking of them 
I know it was different circumstances in Chile - but the rescue of the miners in Chile gave everyone some hope, but sadly not to be in Greymouth NZ.
I hope they didn't suffer too much and my heart goes out to their families, friends and the whole community. I could cry bucket loads of tears for them.

A tragic day in New Zealands history, I ask you all to please pray that the methane gas and carbon monoxide levels will dissapate quickly, so that the rescuers can go in and remove the bodies so that the families may have closure. As a former crash investigator and rescuer, i totally understand the frustration of being unable to rescue someone. I also hope that the families are able to grieve with some form of privacy without media photos and if the bodies are removed, that we dont see that on tv as I believe its so disrespectful of the dead and those grieving for them. Ive been crying for days now, for the loss, and particularly my heart goes out to the fiance of the man she was going to marry in three weeks and for the lady who is due to have a baby. We must unite together at this time and offer our emotional support.
A tragic waste of life.
In my opinion, such underground mines should be banned, and if any mining is to be done, they should employ robots to do the dirty work. Coal mining was great for Snow White's Dwarfs, but that's about it.
A real argument for alternate energy systems such as wind farms, and nuclear energy. When I saw the diagram of how deep underground the miners were, and the shape of the shafts, with no real escape route in the event of such disasters, those poor people didn't stand a chance of getting out alive.
My thoughts turn to families of the victims

Police say there has been a second blast inside the New Zealand mine where 29 workers are missing and that no one could have survived.
Police superintendent Gary Knowles said the second explosion occurred Wednesday afternoon.
Potentially explosive methane gas had been swirling in the Pike River mine since the initial blast last Friday.
A drilling team on Wednesday broke a narrow shaft through to the section of a New Zealand coal mine where 29 workers have been missing for almost six days, and was greeted by a blast of potentially deadly gases from inside.
Nothing has been heard from the missing miners since the blast. Toxic and potentially explosive gases have kept rescuers from entering the mine, though an army bomb disposal robot crawled two-thirds of a mile (1 kilometer) into the tunnel on Wednesday and found a miner's helmet with its fixed light still glowing.
Hot air and gas rushed the hole when the chamber roof was punctured, and Pike River Coal Ltd. chief Peter Whittall said initial tests showed it was "extremely high in carbon monoxide, very high in methane and fairly low in oxygen." Carbon monoxide - the polluting gas from car exhausts - is extremely poisonous, while explosive methane is the gas believed to have ignited in Friday's blast.
