Prayers that they're out and safe ASAP. I hope we're not watching the live rescue on Hannity & Colmes tonight, like the last rescue from maybe 3 or 4 years ago. That's too much time from now.

Mining is a hard way to make a living. I grew up in a NJ town with a zinc mine. Very scary place. Whatever they make isn't enough. prayers for them all.

"FNC also reporting they are trapped 1 mile underground in West Virginia." Well, they might be 1 mile back from where they entered the mine, but they're not a mile deep. Fox news guys making fools out of themselves.

Best wishes for the miners and their families.
Mining is one of the most dangerous occupations, yet coal miners get little recognition for the risks they take to prove energy.
