Another blast from the past
Mood:  caffeinated
                                             
ICE.com - Hot Product: 1 CT Tanzanite & Black Diamond 14K White Gold Ring - ONLY $175! (Retail:$500)Its more pile on meaning death from the rubble from a mining operation that ceased operations Dec. 21, 2001.

This one a little more closely felt to home in a place called Kimberley BC. 

But similar to the old Bankers Trust building in New York City I blogged about below....:

"...four people died doing what should have been routine work."

Including two ambulance attendants. This will be almost two years ago from today in what was once referred to as the

Sullivan mine mystery

 

But now , two years later, investigations by the chief inspector of mines as well as the inquest recommendations which followed the  accident at the Sullivan Mine in Kimberley has resulted in changes that will help ensure mine worker safety -

The amendments include adopting new reporting requirements for mine managers in the event of an accident or dangerous occurrence.

Very good.Foot in mouth

Hopefully the lessons learned will be applied globally to assist mine operations around the world in mitigating risk with respect to similar waste dump sites. take care - Mach

  (Sometimes called : Bavarian City of the Rockies, Kimberley was named after the famous South African diamond mine, probably the same mine moniker used for the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme for International Trade in Rough Diamonds)
