Sago miner Randal McCloy will be going home for good tomorrow. Today he gave his first interview. It's astonishing how well he's talking.
Judging from the aftermath of the Quecreek rescue, he might not be damaged enough for some folks -- especially if he complains about mine safety. After the euphoria had died down, the tall grass Quecreek miners caught hell from some of their neighbors until everybody was level again -- and the miners stopped threatening people's livlihoods by agitating against the mining company.
As one of the Pennsylvania rescuers said, "All the good feelings we had - the jubilation - it's all gone when you think you might lose your job."
that is simply amazing, his story..is one for books.
good ol 'Merican Wes by God Virginny stock I say.
Posted by: csason at March 30, 2006 08:35 AMI've been having a good time reading the coverage. This guy's recovery is so astonishing. It's a hoot reading the doctors saying they have no explanation for it. I also just love his wife. Anyone would be lucky to have her in their corner if they got in a bind.
I was just looking a little bit down the road. People are funny. Those Quecreek miners caught a lot of hell after it was all over.
