TDIH - Floods kill 25 miners in Central Otago



Flood kill 25 miners in Central Otago 1863


Facts By Emily Tess and Tara 

Why do we need to know this? 

Because it’s how we made money in the olden days to survive. Without the miners, New Zealand wouldn’t have a networth like today, we wouldn’t have the things we do now, if we didn’t mine. We can also relate to this because we have the Pike River mine near where we live, and it was devastating when it exploded; killing many. Many miners lost their lives in the mines, it is a dangerous place and we are fine with the fact that we are sending people down to the mines with the risk of them dying. 

The flash floods that killed the miners were in north east in Queenstown.
