Tammy Pierce, a friend of Allred's, cites stories she has heard over the years about miners surviving underground for long periods

The following doesn't support her confidence. Only one longer than 14 days. http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695200708,00.html

A Utah mineworker says more than 175 people are being laid off at three mines co-owned by Bob Murray.

Murray is co-owner of the Crandall Canyon Mine where an August 6 collapse trapped six miners.
