Now that you mention it, I also looked around and found these (only a  
few more than you found):

Indeed, there haven't been many articles on this tragedy yet, but the  
main reason we don't see more than these, I think, is not so much  
lack of leftist concern for miners as the fact that there aren't many  
daily publications on the left, except CounterPunch, Dissident Voice,  
MRZine, and WSWS.
