For my third local news blog, I chose to write about five workers that perished inside of a mine because of a pipe malfunction. It seems to me that on the news there has been a lot of accidents occurring in mines all around the country and other parts of the world. I think that this is a serious problem in America because we should not have that happening. The workers that were involved in this accident didn't get air for two and a half hours, after they had called using a radio one hour after the accident occured. The mining companies need to take more responsibility and get that air down to the miners faster.
I know how it feels not being able to breath. When I was younger, I would wake up some mornings not being able to breath because I would have severe croup. I would wake my mom up and she would drive me to the hospital, where I would have to stay about five hours. The workers had it much worse than I did, they would eventually run out of air, but I could breath, but very slowly.
