Default Grief, anger as all but one miner found dead

TALLMANSVILLE, West Virginia (CNN) -- Joy turned to sorrow in three short hours Wednesday for relatives of a dozen men found dead in a West Virginia coal mine. "Miscommunication" spawned early reports of their survival.

Don't be fooled by the relatives, there's no actual 'anger' here. Just displaced anger. You see, no one is actually responsible for the entrapment of the miners so therefore, no one has the right to be angry. The only feeling they're permitted to feel is sorrow. Case closed.

*scratches head*

They're angry because they were all told that the remaining 12 miners were alive, then 3 hours later found out that all but 1 were dead...

But it's probably due to one moron overhearing "12 miners have been found" and turning it into "HEY GUYS THEY FOUND THE OTHER 12 ALIVE!1!"...

I was bored and had CNN on when they were talking about it then heard reports of the 12 being found alive. I thought "Oh thats nice" but didnt pay attention then find out this morning it was not true and thoght "Damn..sucks for them". Feel sorry for them all but its not 100% the company's fault they died. I thought at last check lightning had something to do with the accident?

When I was at my family last week, I got to see some TV and news again. I suddenly knew that I don't miss it at all. Only misery (and you mostly get to see the American stuff, in Holland we also get a lot of international news).....

A couple of weeks ago my sisters had a little boy (3?) visiting. After a while they decided to see Finding Nemo. After 20 minutes he was crying "turn that off..." Apperantly it was too much for him. It was when the dive mask sinks in the deep dark.

Has Disney done a animation since Brother Bear??

I don't even remember seeing that.

but this thread is beginning to get just a little bit off topic.

You're responsible for reviving the original topic. If you don't, you risk the chance of delaying your admittance into the GT Elders Society by another two years.
