    People of China and the Chinese President.
    Mr.President.in order to ensure worker and environmental safety,you need to follow President Obama's example and shut down all of your mining operations through out China and do an extensive investigation to make sure this do not happen again.If anyone out there believes the above will happen,I have a Monument in Washington D.C. I would like to sell you.

    Tragic. They may be from another country and thousands of miles away, but they were still just people working hard to bring a little money home to their families. Very sad.
