I struggle between laughing and weeping for the trapped
miners’. This would be such a great 2010 “Hudson River-esque” type of success
story if it were not for the discouraging rescue predictions! Christmas…really!??! A 3-to-4 month rescue forecast
makes me even question my own optimism—and I can find the silver lining in nearly
any situation.
I am delighted that the company has finally opted to try a “Plan
B”, however, I can’t help but wonder when we, (by “we” I mean the world), will
stop putting human beings in situations where the contingency is created after
the tragedy has already happened!?! Did we not learn anything from the oil
spill!??!
