That damned evil mountain, it's all its fault...
Edited on Thu Aug-23-07 10:13 AM by Labors of Hercules
‘I’ll never go near that mountain again’

“Had I known that this evil mountain, this alive mountain, would do what it did, I would never have sent the miners in here,” Murray said earlier. “I’ll never go near that mountain again.”

Murray has insisted the collapse was caused by a natural earthquake, but government seismologists say the collapse itself is what caused the ground to shake, registering a magnitude of 3.9.

Since then there have been several other bumps, including one last week that killed the three rescue workers, injured six others and led the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration to call off rescuers’ efforts to dig underground.

Why do these f**king people insist on blaming the destruction THEY CREATE on the things they destroy?
"It was a one-armed EARTHQUAKE!!!"
Sure, A**hole, blame the victims: First the "Evil Mountain", next will be the workmen... "They used unsafe mining practices. We told them not to... I swear."

We'll see what the jury thinks of that, mister "covering my ass". :grr:

1. Ooooh...evil gravity at work.
You would think that a mine owner/operator would have at least a basic understanding of gravity.

3. 9 people dead. It's the mountain's fault.
Murray's losing money. It's the mountain's fault.
Murray's a self-protecting asshat. It's the mountain's fault.

4. Whatever it takes to dodge responsibility
At first, "It was the will of God."
Now, "It was that evil mountain."

How long must we wait until "I take responsibility for bribing safety inspectors and for creating a dangerous working environment which directly lead to these deaths."
