    Ain't no way, ain't no how I'd be a miner. Here's hoping for the best.

      According to the reports I saw, they haven't been able to confirm that the 12 miners are even alive, as there'd been no contact with them following the explosion.

        It's a horrible thing to be trapped in a hole in the ground. I'm slightly clausterphobic, so you'd never catch me down no mine.

          The search has been accelerated, but still no sign of 'em .

            I heard about this on the way to work this morning on NPR... and it didn't sound good. Lethal levels of carbon monoxide detected, IIRC. No response to banging out signals.

                      Church bells herald report of 12 trapped miners alive

                      TALLMANSVILLE, W.Va. (CNN) -- Twelve miners who have been trapped underground for more than 36 hours are alive, a friend of one of the men told CNN late Tuesday.

                      Friends and family members erupted in cheers and the town's church bells began ringing as the report became known "Believe in miracles," said West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, who has expressed optimism throughout the ordeal.

                      The friend of Terry Helms, one of the missing miners, told CNN's Anderson Cooper a mine official had come out and said, "They've got 12 alive." The man, who did not give his name, said rescue crews were going into the mine.

                      Initially, 13 miners were trapped underground after an explosion about 6:30 a.m. Monday. The body of one of them was found Tuesday night as the search continued for the others. Helms' niece, Michelle Mouser, told CNN mine officials and family members believe the body is that of her uncle.

                      Ben Hatfield, the CEO of International Coal Group, which owns the Sago Mine, said earlier there were signs that the other 12 were alive after the explosion and tried to make it out of the mine shaft. (Update 12:10 a.m.)

                          Only one is alive, and he's in crticial condition.

                            Mine officials and West Virginia's governor are indicating that it might have been a communications snafu that resulted in the wrong info getting out.
