70 yes 70 days trapped underground, I can't even begin to comprehend what those poor souls went trough. I've worked deep in the bowels of Mother Earth and yes I've thought more than once, what if we never got out but, you then soon forgot about it and cracked on with it.
Quick question, be honest, how many who post on here could have worked underground down a pit?
27 bodies were recovered from maltby pit in the 20s
One was unidentified. Grave still marked as such.
Another body was come across in the late 40s.
