Thirty three

Nowadays, when money is most important, the newspapaers only care about publishing news about the economic crysis, and about a big accident that has an economic cause, in which 33 miners are involved.
It´s horrible to think that money ansiety can take 33 people to end 700 mt under the floor.
Obviously the owner of the mine doesn´t know what it feels to be in those conditions, becouse he was worried only about checking money movements from his desk.
It´s a shame to see the famillies of the miners suffering, without knowing if their husbands/fathers/sons will come back home, while the responsable people only suffer becouse of their money loss.
Hopefully no more tragedies like this will be needed to finally take enough care about the conditions of dangerous jobs with high levels of risk like mining.
Chile is a miner and agricultural country, so this activities should be totally known and well practiced. It´s unacceptable that even though mining is the first economic income of the country, there aren´t still enough security standtards to this activity, and more people keeps dying, or having serious helth problems becouse of this.
