The 'gag' unit has been running since Wednesday night, pumping carbon dioxide into the mine to cool it and neutralise the gases inside.
It has only been shut down from time to time for essential maintenance.
A mine scientist David Cliff from the University of Queensland, says it will take a great deal more of the cooling gas to put out the fire.

Dr Cliff says it will likely be weeks before a recovery team can enter the mine.

Hi this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if
blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and
everything. However think about if you added some great graphics or video
clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and
clips, this site could undeniably be one of the best in its niche.
Terrific blog!
