A payment offered to the families and survivors of the 2010 Pike River Mine tragedy has been described as “blood money” by some of those who lost loved ones in the disaster. Today all 12 charges laid against former Pike River Coal boss Peter Whittall in relation to the tragedy were dropped in the Christchurch District Court. Mr Whittall and Pike River Coal have offered a voluntary payment on behalf of the directors and officers of the company to the families and survivors – totalling $3.41m, or $110,000 each. nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11171336
