Reply #28: The mine safety officer might have something to say [View All]

[kurtyboy]

He was briefing reporters two days ago, and the question came up about the rescuing miners asking to be removed from the team, over concerns about their own safety. The officer responded that he had been approached by several (a dozen?) of the miners, and that they continued to work. Before the mine safety officer could complete his answer, though, the mine owner stepped in and interupted, shifting the focus away from the line of questioning. The safety officer got the message, and clammed up.

I can't remember which network it was, but it was one of the 24-hour deals--MSNBC or Fox or CNN.
