Second blast ends hopes for survival of 29 New Zeland miners

Elation over a possible rescue attempt quickly turned to anguish for the families of 29 New Zealand miners missing underground since last week when a second powerful blast ended any hope for another mine miracle.

Wednesday's massive explosion deep inside the mine on New Zealand's South Island came five days after the men were caught underground by a similar blast. Even in the unlikely event that any had survived the first one, police said none could have lived through the second.

I had thought they were getting close to having a rescue tunnel dug.

That's horrible. Condolences to family who lost loved ones in the New Zealand mine.  :(
