For the remaining trapped miners in WV. <br />Initial air samples from the shaft are not encouraging. Still no audible signs of life.<br />Continue to pray for their families.

Yea, have been watching this closely.<br />Does not look good right now.<br />Just hope they got to another place other than where they have tested the air.

Yes, Isn't that great? I was watching the footage taken at the church and they were throwing their right hands in the air and praising God. What a wonderful blessing for the families of the 12. I pray for the family of the on who died, God rest his soul.

He was the fire boss. He is the one that goes in first to make sure everything is ok before the rest of the miners go in.<br />How ironic that he would be the one that dies.

Just had a breaking story 12 midnight. 12 of the 13 were dead with only one alive and he is in critical condition.<br />I hope this isnt true.<br />Reporters are saying they were lied to. Not bad communications.<br />We will see.<br />Did a edit to add, I was reading this post when the news broke. Weird

It is true. 12 are confirmed dead and one critical.<br />Gov. says breakdown in communications.<br />Suppose to been found 12 miners with nothing said about how many if any were alive.

There is some close ties to the family in that region. BIL left here after receiving a phone call. He hasn't called us yet on any news at all. Of course cell phones in WVA are sometimes just useless. Should here from him this evening. Just gotta keep on praying regardless of family ties or not. Just a bad thing to happen to anybody.

The CEO of the mine was just on the news confirming 12 are dead and 1 critical.

Very sad! And the mix-up in communication was terrible! I feel for the families - they are certainly in my prayers.
