As a youth I worked in several mines in Ontario:

Leitch - no defunct
Dyno - now defunct
Bicroft - now defunct
Faraday - now defunct
Denison, Stanleigh - now defunct

The only thing that is being worse than trapped underground is to attend funerals of your comrades who died underground.

My prayers are with the miners in Chile.
