Nope, he didn't say they thought they were going to die because the rescuers had given up..........they thought they were going to die when the water left them only with their noses and chins out of the water.

Miners know that they won't be left in the mine without EVERYTHING possible done to resuce them.

Sun Jul 28, 6:05 AM ET Sipesville Fire Chief Mark Zambanini gives the thumbs up sign as miner Mark Popernack, the ninth and final miner, is rescued from the Quecreek mine early Sunday, July 28, 2002, in Somerset Pa. Nine miners were pulled one-by-one from the watery, 240-foot-deep shaft where they had been trapped for three days, a jubilant reward for an effort that had been fraught with one gut-wrenching setback after another.
