Daniel's 21 yrs old brother didn't make it out
They don't know why the mine exploded
Russell couldn't breath and collapsed
He felt peaceful before he collapsed
Daniel is working in Australia
Daniel's brother is named Ben
Shock waves and smoke made Daniel weak
Daniel lost connection with the outside world
Daniel took all his anger out on his dad when he was drunk saying it was his dad's fault for Ben's death
People blamed the corporation for death of the 29 men

Reflection
We are learning about the Pike River Mine,
I showed my learning by putting facts onto a DLO
I am wondering if the bodies are skeletons now or anything else
Looking back on my predictions I was correct about the mine and that people died
