Tragic miscommunication...

Talk about a devastating story. I was filled with joy last night when the newsflash came across the screen saying that all but one of the miners had survived....then I go to The Drudge Report at 2:10am and read this:

Hatfield told the families gathered at the Sago Baptist Church that "there had been a lack of communication, that what we were told was wrong and that only one survived," said John Groves, whose brother Jerry Groves was one of the trapped miners.

I couldn't imagine what it must have felt like to think your friends and family were dead...then told they were alive...only to find out that there was miscommunication, and that they were actually dead.

Tragic news story. May our prayers and thoughts be with the families who lost loved ones, and that community.
