Speculation unhelpful to Pike River Coal rescue effort – Straterra
“The 29 men trapped underground in the Pike River Coal mine and their families are uppermost in our thoughts while we continue to wait for news,” Straterra CEO Chris Baker said today.
“The Coal Association and Straterra have been providing support over the last five days to the Pike River Coal company, and are liaising with industry,” Mr Baker said.
“There is a high level of interest throughout New Zealand and globally in events. It is important to remember that we are in a waiting game at the moment. Speculation on what might have happened in the mine is not helpful to the rescue effort.”
“At this stage, our focus must be on supporting the rescue effort, and everyone involved in this very difficult situation. Inquiries will come later.”
