What other reports? That's the first I've heard of that.

All morning the media is scrambling to find out where the report first broke.

Several reports indicate the media intercepted radio communications with the rescue workers and misinterpreted the information.

Several reports only came after the families started celebrating---but the question remains, where did the families get their information? There were no officials with them at the time. It appears to have been a cellular phone call to a family member that started them to celebrate.

Sounds like it was a tragic error on the part of one of the men (apparently a foreman and one of the relatives who called his family when he overheard a portion of a conversation from the mine).

This is going to be awfully tough on the man who misinterpreted the conversation and I really don't think fingers ought to be pointed at him.

The fact is, these men died whenever they died and all the hoping or accusations don't change that a bit. We need to be praying for the recovery of Randy, he's got a real fight ahead of him.
