Police to drill 10 new boreholes at pike river

[C_T_Russell]

In my opinion the police should never have been in charge when Pike exploded and stopping a rescue attempt, they have no experience in that sort of thing and had they let the experts do their thing , imagine how many lives could have been saved, so how about the police investigate themselves before drilling holes.

I know, this still really gets to me, they could have gone in ASAP and potentially saved lives, or at least at the very worst, recovered some bodies and discovered evidence.

From watching the documentary that aired a while ago, it appeared that the Pike River management pushed the police to say no to the rescue and told them it was dangerous because they knew they would discover evidence of neglect.
