I hadn't heard the news of the mine explosion in West Virginia until I woke up this morning to the news that 12 miners had been found alive, now I check the BBC news site to find that the announcement was wrong and only one survivor has been found.

I'm... stunned.

To have such a level of miscommunication like this - especially where it has such a personal impact on so many people - is unforgivable.

ETA I should say however, that it is amazing that anyone survived after that length of time and I'm sure everything possible was done - and is being done - to aid the relatives and friends.
