Hello all
This update is nothing to do with Massey Ferguson tractor troubles but these people do eat the food we produce. Thank you for the kind words for those who replied to my first posting on these blokes .
a specialised drilling machine is now boring a 3 foot tunnel with over 24 hours to go towards the cage in which the two are trapped in by the rock fall . a smaller hole has been made through 12 yards of the quartzite rock , this has allowed food , water and comunications with Todd Russell and Brant Webb who are well and in good spirits considering their plight .

AS this is going on there are mine disasters around the world and most times we never get to hear about them .
I'm hopeing for the best outcome for Todd and Brant.

Thanks CT
A happy outcome built on prayers, it was great to see their burly workmates crying with relief.
Cheers Arthur from Tassy

Thank you Art for the good news. My dad was miner all his life and died in 1975 with the dreaded blacklung disease. I can appreciate everyone's concern.

Arthur, that is great news. Keep us informed, since I don't watch a lot of television, I hadn't heard the latest. C. T.

As a former underground coal miner and one who comes from a long line of miners(dad grand fathers ) and who has lived through mine distasters (springhill n.s. ) i can feel for them and their families, families are probably the worst off as those two miners are a different breed and will fight to the end to return to their love ones, i,ll be praying that they do.
