That sucks real bad. Sounds like rescuers are being rescued now.
Prayers for all involved.
I am assuming that some rescuers have had mishap.
I hope it’s not the rescuers. They couldn’t have reached the miners yet - right?
Prayers for all, I’m praying and hoping this is not for rescuers- but hoping they have reached live miners from the initial mine problems.
Oh no. Prayers lifted for everybody affected by this entire tragedy.
That mine owner dude has been the most annoying, arrogant bastard. I hate that he is the spokesman for the entire operation. I am sure all who work for him can’t stand him either; they must be cringing every time he takes the mic.

Ambulances, Med Chopper Seen Racing To Coal Mine
(KUTV) HUNTINGTON - At least five ambulances and a medical helicopter raced to the coal mine near the town of Huntington on Thursday evening to provide emergency medical treatment — although it was not immediately clear why.
Witnesses saw the ambulances arrive at the Crandall Canyon coal mine at approximately 7:15 p.m. Thursday. Authorities also reportedly cleared the road so that the emergency vehicles could race to the mine. Civilian vehicles were also seen racing to the coal mine, presumably containing officials from the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
2News reporter Katie Baker observed two of the ambulances racing back down the canyon, with EMTs performing chest compressions on victims in the back. It was not immediately made clear who the victim or victims are, or what happened to cause injury.

Ambulances Called to Crandall Canyon Mine
August 16th, 2007 @ 7:52pm
(KSL News)
There’s been a flurry of activity at the Crandall Canyon mine tonight. Early reports from NBC Network News suggest that four rescue miners have been injured.
The situation seems to have started at about 7:20 this evening. The Emery County sheriff was seen driving quickly up the road, followed by ambulance. Another ambulance followed and a helicopter also appeared to have landed at the site.
Just minutes later an ambulance came back down. One ambulance left the scene with a person inside performing chest compressions on someone.
Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon declined to comment. We’ll keep you updated as details become available.

Damn, they have a problem there.
PRayers offered for these miners.
It's the Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules!
>>How long before the mine owner claims it was another earthquake?<<
I’ve been wondering the same thing. He keeps talking about the rescue is being compromised by more seismic activity. Yet, the seismologists are all reporting that there was never any earthquake.
Oh no, that’s it, its over.
God bless them all, and their families.
Unbelievably sad, such hard working brave men.
I don’t care that he has money, I care that he is an arrogant bastard.
Patients arriving at Castleview hospital. Presser at the hospital in a half hour. (KUTV reporting one possible fatality.)
Oh no. Those poor men.
