75 miners per lift, that's like 40 lifts? That's going to take quite a time.

deep mining operations are vast arrays. i've been down one or two and you cannot believe how "impressive" they are. In fact one South African company has built a training centre underground.

| remember seeing that on some programme. They even have their own language because the workers come from so many different tribes speaking loads of different languages

I'm not in the slightest claustrophibic, in fact I love sleeping in cramped places like small boats. It's cosy.
But being a mile underground waiting for the next collapse is about as appealing as being stuck in a sunken boat and waiting for the hull to give. Not good. Not good at all.

It's promising, as long as they keep getting water and air they should be fine. :thup:
