    Kia Ora!

    Any kiwis live near Pike River? I hope things go as well for these miners as it did for the Chilean miners. Reading through this article, I noticed some of that Kiwi style that I find so incredible

    "I'm not going to put 16 men underground to effect a half-arsed rescue," Mr Knowles said. "We are still focusing on a rescue operation. I would like to get underground and get these men out."

    I am sure that the Kiwi ingenuity will prevail in the end.
