As a former coal miner myself I hope they find these four lads alive.
And to be honest I didn't think there was any coal mines left in Wales after Thatcher destroyed the mining industry in 80s.

This is really sad

Hopefully they'll locate them and get them out.

Alas one will not be coming out alive.

It's a terrible shame, miners are a special breed of men, and this will hit the small community hard.

I can't begin to wonder how the four sets of familioes are coping right now, wondering which one of them has suffered a tragic loss

another one of the miners has been found, dead.
There is still hope for the two remaining miners.
