Rescue workers wait around the number one shaft for the drill to break through into the chamber as they get ready to bring up nine miners that became trapped at the Quecreek Mine in Somerset, Pennsylvania, July 27, 2002. The miners were trapped July 24 when the wall of an adjacent, abandoned mine was breached, releasing more than 50 million gallons of water into the shaft where they were working.
