the pike river mine disaster

1 - The Pike River mine is on the West Coast of New Zealand

2 - Built the mine in 2005 and started mining in November 2008

3 - There were 31 miners inside the mine when the explosion occurred

4 - 2 people escaped

5 - They sent robots into the mine to search for survivors because it was too dangerous to send humans

6 - Jacinda was going to unseal the mine and rescue the bodies

Russel says he ducked behind the door of the loader to avoid falling rocks 

Another survivor Daniel rescued Russel and helped him escape

They were the only 2 to survive

They still don't know why the mine exploded


thanks for watching
