The Families of the men killed in the Pike River mining disaster will go back into the mine this morning. It was nine years ago when 29 men were killed when the mine exploded. Today the families will go right to where the mine is sealed - 170 metres into the drift. Our reporter Rowan Quinn reports from Greymouth.
