This is so sad, such needless tragedy for the families of the victims.

So ... what's with so many mine blasts lately?

More to the point, why any mine blasts at all? There is enough information and technology available to make mines a lot safer than they used to be.

Again and again, Cat…

Pawlina, there’s indeed enough technology in the developed world. But there’s not enough truth in Ukraine to keep these people from dying this way.

Truth ... and perhaps the basic sense of decency that defines a civil (and civilized?) society.

Pawlina, as we can see, the guys who run these mines never had any such sense. Their senses lie elsewhere.

Luida, what about Z-man? Why doesn’t he feel like shouldering the burden?
