Watch and pray. The rescuers are optimistic that they will reach the cavity where the miners are located by midnight, perhaps as soon as 10pm et.
They just reported that several PA miners were caught in a similar situation thirty years ago AND WERE RESCUED ALIVE AFTER A WEEK IN THE HOLE.

If FNC doesn't go to this story live at 11 PM ET in place of what the guide says will be some Heidi Fleiss retrospective,they should be ashamed.

I was across the room when it broke here, I thought it was FOX. It was msnbc.
Does anyone have any data on how long others have survived in similar, tragic mining events?

My AP blast was reported live on the non-MSNBC, non-FNC news channel. I've forgotten what it's called.
Those of you locals who can get WTAE an get a sharp view of their hottie news-babes live right now...
though they seem about to sign off.

I'm not sure in KDKA radio is carruing live but I would bet KQV is. KDKA TV and WPXI TV are carrying live.
Meanwhile KDKA is reportiung visual confirmation of breakthrough at ten:15 tonight. Trooper came to pass word to Gov. Right now he's meeting with DEP and getting offical word. He should make an announcement mommentarily.
After breakthough they have to set the dril down another 6 feet. After that it's removoing the bit and casing, fitting and sending the capsule down.
Estimates are about three hours before. SOmething ha;ppening now

KDKA is 1020 kHz on your AM/MW radio dial. 50,000 watts, so you should have no problem picking that one up with a decent radio.
To: Petronski
Hey, some wise and kind soul has updated the headline of this topic. Thanks much (and I wish I knew who and how it was done).
Again, thanks.
To: Petronski
FNC (Geraldo) can't seem to get their collective act together, MSNBC (Robert Hagar) has been in and out of their coverage, and CNN has been live with the story for a while (Carol Lin/Atlanta & Jeff Flock/Somerset).

As proof of old timer status, such desperate rescue attempts underground always remind me of poor Floyd Collins in Kentucky back in the 20s.

KDKA is 1020 but I'm at work and can't check if they're broadcasting. I would escpet KQV at 1410 ( fairly low power though) is broadcasting>
There's lots of activity going on near the GOv right now.

Approx. how big was this cavity the miners were trapped in?? Is it possible they tried to move somewhere else?
To: Petronski
You are welcome. (We are Freepers too)
To: Joe Hadenuf
Does anyone have any data on how long others have survived in similar, tragic mining events? Earlier tonight I heard Geraldo the presstitute say that a similar mine collapse in Pennsylvania occured thirty years ago, and the miners were trapped in the hole for a week and survived.
To: Petronski
:))CNN is doing a good job,will take hour to get drill out and another 2 hours before they can reach them,going to be a long night.
