If you’ve been following the news lately you probably know that Monday the 6th of August, 6 Utah miners were caught in a cave-in at the Crandall Canyon Mine. Since then rescue efforts have been unwavering with fellow miners trying to rescue the 6.

Last night it was reported that at 6:39 PM there was another cave-in injuring approximately 10 rescue miners. As of this morning we learned that 3 of those rescue miners died in the collapse.

University of Utah seismologist spokesman Lee Siegel has even more bad news that might mean not getting the 6 trapped miners out or at least news that would mean even more risk to rescue workers.

“These events seem to be related to ongoing settling of the rock mass following the main event,” Siegel said. “I don’t think I’m going too far to say that this mountain is collapsing in slow motion.”

It’s been about 10 days that the 6 miners have been trapped without much progress in finding them and with continuous injuries during rescuing. Things are looking bleak. But Utah, especially the Huntington community, is holding out hope, against the odds that these men can be saved.

Our hearts and prayers are with all of those affected by this situation.
