Thoughts and condolances go to the families of the four brave men that have lost their lives on this tragic event, also to the community of Cilybebyll and surrounding area's, not forgetting the three survivours also that not only have lost workmates but best friends, R.I.P bois bach.
Having worked with miners (not underground) for 15 years with the coalboard and knowing how close knit these men are, pain will be felt not only in Wales but all over the world. Most people would take coal for granted for heating and water but to the miners what was the real price of coal ?

Miners have my utmost respect. One of the miners was part of the coal delivery that up to three months ago delivered coal to our home. My wife was in tears yesterday.
Mining is part of being Welsh, the communities built around the stuff, the towns etc but man it is a job for brave and fearless men. When i finished my apprenticeship there were jobs going at a coalmine, there was no way was i going into the bowels of the earth, takes a special breed to do what they do. I am not one. When you look back just a hundred years the amount of mining going on in Wales was incredible. When my father was renovating the bathroom at Glyn Coed Terrace opposite the Halfway Hotel in Llanelli, he was laying a new concrete floor and as he was digging away at the floor a bloody mine shaft appeared. There are mine shafts everywhere and a legacy of the intensity of mining in Wales. Which, when you read about the amount of loved ones lost to mining, you always hope it will never happen again. My thoughts and deepest sympathies are for families and friends of the four lost and everyone connected to another tragic, tragic event. Miners are incredibly brave individuals, RIP. |

So very sad for everyone as mining has touched so many lives! My Dad was a Miner from the age of 16 until he retired, he never moaned or talked about his job but had such affection for his "Butties", loved meeting up with all the families when we used to go on "Miners' Trips" to Ilfracombe on the Waverley from Mumbles!

One of the boys I manage in work has lost his father-in-law and cousin in this tragic accident. My heart goes out to him, his wife and the other families at this terrible time.
