I am creating this thread so that if it is true, I can claim it.

Just heard from a fairly decent source that over 50 minutes went by before Pike River bothered to ring Fire Service after the original explosion, during which, amongst other things, workers pay was cancelled and "documents shredded"

I know this sounds like bollocks, but we will see.

Lock thread if you want.

I heard we never landed on the moon and 9/11 was an inside job.

Pike River is named after the River Pike species of fish
River Pike abbreviated is RP
R is the 18th letter of the alphabet
1+8=9
P is the 16th letter of the alphabet
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the US
Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, or '65
6+5=11
This is not a coincidence
Pike River was an inside job just like 9/11

Yeh I don't believe in any of histories conspiracies. But my sauce is a lawyer very close to the enquiry.

I just wanted to write this somewhere so that if it comes, I was right. If it never does, then I'm probably wrong and will accept that.

Cheers lads.

My 2 cents worth on this are that I think the mine did everything within their powers (and their workplace  proceedures) to make sure that it was safe to allow anybody else, including emergency services, on to an accident site.
 
AS for the reported 14 hour delay in contacting people, this could be a number of things like the recipient of the call had their phone off and more likely the mine was taking a cautious approach and making sure they could verify the whereabouts of people who were on site at the time of the accident before notifying others that their loved one was missing feared trapped. A little due dilligence!
