国际英语新闻:Chile to punish those responsible for mine accident

2010-10-15来源:和谐英语
After the success of the rescue, Chileans reveled in glory. Many countries also congratulated Chile on the rescue operation.

Yet, after the jubilation, the safety of the mine, among others, is in question.

Officials at the San Jose mine might be questioned why the mine was allowed to operate, as some people believe the mine collapsed because it was overworked and violated safety codes.

Some families of the rescued miners reportedly have sued the mine's owners for negligence.

President Pinera has said the mine will "definitely never open again."

He also said the conditions that allowed the accident "will not go unpunished and those responsible will have to "assume their responsibility".
