Police to drill 10 new boreholes at pike river

[harm_less]

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 tend to agree with that; I'd hate to think that any were still alive at the time of that second explosion.

Also hate to imagine the fate of a rescue party if they had been in the mine when the second explosion occurred.
