OHZLAAD VOTE PNC EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT.

boy...that is not nice...these people have families...jeez

Dondadda this is indeed sad news even though this it is a PPP/C legacy. Were you at Redda Fire last evening/

Looks like illegal mining operations...vary sad

compounded by the fact that there are no safety standards.

Nah Bhai. What would I be doing there? I was planting Poi Bhaji in the garden, plus some Jamaican Callaloo. Were you there? 

I went there to pickup some food... I get my POI Climbing ones at Oceans. Where did you get the Jamaican Callaloo?

Charlies West Indian on Hurontario.

Thanks...

I pray that the others are rescued alive.

Nehru, we hope that your human insticnts will get the better of you. These miners were probably operating in unsafe conditions and it is a disaster that is man-made. As Riff said, these are humans with families and it is a human tragedy. Where does anything political come into this I do not know.

I hope you're chastened enough.

If this is beyond the capability of Guyana to rescue, they should seek foreign help very soon. Due to gas build-up in a sealed mine.

Other countries have done so with immediate result.

The government should also investigate all aspects of mining in Guyana, especially inexperience youth working on same claims, where they die.

Also mercury, cyanide  and other pollutions, including large amounts of oil in some interior rivers, that prevents AmerIndian villages from  using  the water.

Some source of drinking water is only from rain, that could be challenging in dry seasons.
