West Virginia Miner Alive

After being trapped for nearly two days, one miner was found alive and twelve were found dead. Our deepest condolences to the families of the miners who will not be returning home. After forty plus hours of uncertainty, the worrying can stop and hopefully a community will rally around those impacted by this tragedy.

Last night, the major news outlets reported 12 of 13 were alive and this publication reported the same. I was watching the wife of the lone 'unconfirmed' deceased and her strength was an example for all. She was glad for other families because they still had hope.
Altruism in action.
