The author of this book Thelma Eakans came in a visited us to talk about the book. She brought in a lamp that they should have used because they used lamps without glass around the flame covering it and they had open flame which caused the explosion because the gas in the mine was methane and methane is highly flammable.
She also brought in a led man that her friend made and gave to her. It was very heavy and it was a replica of the monument at the brunner mine historical site.
Kia Ora Nicky.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your thoughts about the visit from Thelma. I really enjoyed listening to her, did you? She certainly knows her stuff and has done a lot of research!
Keep up the great work,
Miss H :)
