Rescue workers wait around the number one shaft for the drill to break through into the chamber as they get ready to bring up nine miners that became trapped at the Quecreek Mine in Somerset, Pennsylvania, July 27, 2002. The miners were trapped July 24 when the wall of an adjacent, abandoned mine was breached, releasing more than 50 million gallons of water into the shaft where they were working.

When there were no reports of additional soundings from the trapped miners by Friday evening, I had accepted that they were probably done for. Am I glad to hear different! This is great news. Thanks so much for the report.
