Those miners are STILL stuck in the mine in Tasmania.

During a press conference Richard Carleton, the famous 60 Minutes reporter asked a question typical of him ("On 26th October last year, not 10 metres from where these men are now entombed, you had a 400-tonne rock fall. Why is it, is it the strength of the seam, or the wealth of the seam, that you continue to send men into work in such a dangerous environment?") He then wandered off and collapsed from a heart attack and died on the way to the hospital.

Sheesh.

Channel 9 journalism is deplorable, and 60 minutes is - and has always been - a sensationalised joke.
