Howdy, Miss Marple! Did you happen to see Schweiker's presser this afternoon? I've been trying to find a transcript because I think I missed some of it.

The stories these miners told him were amazing!

Yes, I saw it. He said that the miners were at one point trapped with rising water and had to press their faces against the roof of the mine in order to gasp for air. He also said that they wrote good-bye notes to their families on scraps from a cardboard box, because they thought that the recuers had given up on finding them.

This was later corroborated by the young miner who gave the press conference.
