Thanks, I'll check it out. My Father was given a Presidential Citation by Truman for saving other miner lives. My heart goes out to these families. I still remember my mother rocking me while we waiting for news,when my Dad was trapped several miles down. He worked in iron mines. One of my Uncles was trapped once for several days. Dad hadn't worked in mining for 25 years when he died, but many men that had worked for him came to his funeral. They all made a point of telling me how much they respected him. I guess the bravery they showed each other established a special bond.

The Gov said it will be 2 hours before we know if the miners are alive.
