Hope they find the miners.....I have a huge respect and admiration for miners. Mining coal is a way of life for my family back home, it put food on the table for me growing up as a kid. Both my uncles are retired from coal mining, with each having over 40+ years underground. My dad also mined for 22 years.

My wife is from Pike County, Ky and her whole family mined coal. I took a tour once of the mining operation and that is a job. I hope the men are found and this is put to rest. Our prayers go out to them.

Yes, don't give up. I hope the miners are found alive. Must be awful for them as well as their loved ones.

This story hit home on a personal note for me. My grandfather worked in the coal mines of southern Ohio as a kid during the depression and later on in life died from black lung. Gramps was very dear to me and a natural comedian and a golden gloves boxer in his early twenties. He used to talk to me about the coal mine wars that occured in Ohio.

Keep digging!

I live in Pike co kentucky and have grown up knowing nothing but the coal industry,Every male member of my family has worked 20 + years underground and now I am carrying on the tradition.This hits very close to home for everyone in this area and we pray every day for the miners to be brought to the surface.
