Such a terrible tragedy, especially for a small city like Greymouth.

My thoughts are with the families.

How did they die? Collapse? Ventilation failure?

A series of explosions down in the mine.
They couldn't get rescue teams down there because of the volatility of the mine,too much heat and gas etc.
They tried sending robots down to see if there were any signs of life but early today there was another huge explosion down in the mine, basically sounding the death knell for the trapped miners.

Very sad indeed.
My heart goes out to all involved.
