They have a conference going on right now. With one body found, it really doesn't look good for the rest 🙁

1 body found, 12 still missing! 🙁
 
Sucks to be the only one who died and his family. Now no one will give a rat's ass about his death and just celebrates the other 12 are alive.

In the national media maybe...that area will not sweep that miner's death under the rug.

Outstanding that they found the other 12 alive.
 
I feel very sorry for the family of the one miner who died. They said he was the fire boss, that was my brother's job when he worked in the mines. I wouldn't be surprised if the explosion happened as a result of him starting up the belt or some other type of equipment as that would have been his responsibility since the mine had been closed for the weekend. If some sort of methane or coal dust had built up, a spark from starting the equipment could have caused the explosion.

Very happy for the 12 surviving miners and their families though. I bet they went to the face and barricaded themselves in. Probably a good thing that many of them were so experienced. :thumbsup:

 
Wow great news! It was looking pretty bleak for awhile there, especially when they announced they had found one dead. Unforunate that one of them died. 🙁

RIP to the miner that died and condolences to his family.
 
I don't think they'll sweep the one death under the rug...they haven't so far...I'm so happy that 12 were found alive though....that poor guy that died though, his son was the one that had said 'i just want to see my dad again' or something like that 🙁
 
UPDATE>>>>>>>>

holy $#!T... now they're saying only 1 made it out alive... some lady and her 2 kids just came out of the church and said they're spreading misinformation. There's a brawl going on now in there...

CNN NOW.
