HUNTINGTON, Utah — Officials extinguished nearly all hope of finding any of the six miners alive on Sunday, nearly two weeks after the men were trapped in a violent collapse deep with a mine.

The latest results from a fourth hole drilled more than 1,500 feet into the mountainside found the air quality could not sustain life, said a top executive of the company that co-owns the Crandall Canyon Mine.

"It's likely these miners may not be found," said Rob Moore, vice president of Murray Energy Corp.

The families need to get over it. 3 men died trying to get in there and they insult their sacrifice by calling on the ceo to get them out dead or alive.

“The families need to get over it. 3 men died trying to get in there and they insult their sacrifice by calling on the ceo to get them out dead or alive.”

DU`ers are outraged that more men are`nt being sent in to possibly die trying to recover the bodies of the others.

Glad somebody agrees with me, its been 2 weeks with no oxygen. Its a pity the ceo built up their hopes so much but come on, 3 men died trying to recover bodies.

Oh, so that’s why they were 3 miles underground. It figures, Clinton would be behind that, they have to make everything so difficult, all in the name of the environment they put people’s lives at risk. It’s not shocking that these socialists believe that human lives are expendable for the greater good. It makes sense how China behaves too. Although, in China, they don’t have to pretend it’s the environment that they care about. They’re just right out with it, individual human life doesn’t count. That’s so comforting!

I blame Clinton for these deaths....

Yes, of course its Clinton's fault, but watch the Liberals and the MSM blame President Bush.
