Watching the mine blast

The West Virginia mine blast is close to home, but not too close. My brother-in-law works for a different Massey subsidiary and in a different part of Raleigh County, W.Va. And he's second shift, and the blast appears to have been at the end of first shift.
Channel-surfing, I caught CNN's coverage. (I was headed to the NCAA game and Fox is at the other end of the channel selection.) Larry King asked the mine rescue guy if it made a difference whether it was day or night.
Larry, there's no sunlight a mile underground. It's not the beaches of South Florida.

Looking to blame someone. As wrote years ago about Sago,,,The press could care less about dead miners...Trapped miners make ratings.
