Note for family among W.Va. mine victims' stories

What a sad day for so many!! Josh Napper was a coal miner in Charleston, West Virgina. Napper was one of 25 men killed in a terrible mining accident. Napper had a feeling something was wrong at work, so he decided that he would write to his family be for going back to work. This would be Nappers last words he would ever say to his family ever again. Pam Napper, the mother of Josh, didn't find out about the letter until after her son had gone back to work. "I just knew that Josh in his heart knew that something was going to happen, "Pam Napper said Friday.

What a terrible story!! It is crazy that sometimes people know something is going to happen before it happens. It is to bad that this young man didn't listen to this feeling. Coal mining is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. If you have been following this story on the news there has been several things that just tick me off about the whole thing.

According to the news this very mine, that took the lives of these 25 men, was cited for safety violations that morning. This was not the first time either. My problem with all this is what is going to happen the owner of the mine. I mean if I go out and kill so one in a car wreck, because I was messing around I will most likely go to prison. Even though I didn't mean to kill the person I still have pay the price, because of my negligence's. That is my point the people of this mine knew that they where breaking rules, but they didn't care. Now 25 families have to pay the price of someone else's negligence's.

Well I guess life just isn't fair. That is all right, because people my get away with complete lack of respect in this life but someday we will all be judged. The question is what will be your sentence.
