One quick thought about the mining disaster…
It would be an additional tragedy — and perhaps the cause of future mining disasters — if all the investigations and remedies that came out of this accident were about the media coverage and the fact that the families were misinformed for a time. Things went wrong there but things really went wrong in that mine. Twelve men were killed in a facility that had repeatedly been cited for "significant and substantial" safety violations. What a shame it would be if someone thought that was less of a scandal than how their deaths were and were not reported.
