Bennett Hatfield Quotations

Let's put this in perspective. Who do I tell not to celebrate?

Much of the bad history you're talking about was beyond our reach and ability to control.

Coal production will not resume at the Sago Mine until our internal investigation of the accident is completed and we can share those findings with the families and co-workers of those lost in that tragic accident. We hope to conclude those efforts in the very near future.

Apparently the rescuers meant to convey that they had found 12 individuals and were trying to check their vital signs.

They were looking desperately for good information; they wanted to share it.

In the process of being cautious, we allowed the jubilation to go on longer than it should have.
