From Checkpoint, 5:45 pm on 18 November 2021

People on the West Coast are coming to terms with the discovery of human remains deep in the Pike River Mine, almost eleven years after the deadly explosion.

Tomorrow's the anniversary of the deadly explosion in which 29 miners lost their lives.

Many of their families have been campaigning for the last decade to see justice done.
