(DRILL WHIRRS)
1:06:33
Go ahead.
1:06:38
Ton after ton, further and further
into that barrier
1:06:42
holding back a million tons of floodwater!
1:06:45
- Have they taken drill tests?
- Drill tests!
1:06:48
You've all been working miners
1:06:51
and you know that without plans you can't
tell if your drill tests are deceiving you.
1:06:56
We can't inspect the plans because
the mine owner insists that they never existed.
1:07:03
My father insists that they did and still do
1:07:06
and I'd like to know
why they can't be inspected.
1:07:09
We can't listen to just anyone
who may have seen some plans.
1:07:13
The men in Scupper Flats listened,
and starved for three months to avoid it.
1:07:18
Anyway, Barras wouldn't
risk flooding his own mine.
1:07:22
There are owners who will take a gamble.
There are few miners who don't.
1:07:27
This gamble I beg you not to be a party to.
1:07:30
You may deny you intend to be a party
to anything, just to do nothing.
1:07:35
Like the man who sits
and watches a child drowning.
1:07:38
He's not a party to it. There's no crime
he can be accused of - certainly not murder.
1:07:44
If these men drown in Scupper Flats,
nobody can accuse you of murder.
1:07:50
You'll say you were not a party to it.
So will you and you.
1:07:53
But what will your conscience say?
And yours and yours?
1:07:57
It is in your hands today to decide whether
these men should enter that death trap.
