I have been keeping up with the status of the lost miners. It just hit me of an idea; which now is a little too late for these miners, but definitely could save the life of future miners found in this same predicament.
Why don't miners be required to wear a GPS locator when they are working? At least this way, they know exactly where the miners are and don't have to guess where they think they may be.
You know there has to be a way that this could be done and it really could save lives. No, I'm not the next American Inventor; but it is a thought. I know you can't prevent things like this from happening, but if it did, you could get to the person a lot faster if you knew exactly where they were.
My thoughts and prayers are with the miners family and friends.
