I just heard someone say they put a microphone down there and there is no sign that any of them are alive. However an air sample that was taken indicated there was enough oxygen to breathe in the chamber and rescuers promised to keep digging toward them. Although an air sample did not pick up carbon dioxide, they are saying that it was a quick sample where you don't always get a true reading. I only hope and pray that the reason for no sound is because they are extremely exhausted but still alive. This is sad. Really sad. I can't even begin to imagine how the families of those miners are feeling. It's quite possible that these miners are exhausted, maybe even in the pre-stages of shock, but still alive.

Now a coal mine accident in Indiana has killed 3. (CNN) -- Three people have died in an accident at a coal mine in Princeton, Indiana, police said Friday. Authorities told CNN that it's unknown how many miners were in the mine at the time or how the incident occurred. "At this point we have people trying to retrieve the bodies and we know there was no explosion," said Mike Hurt of the Princeton police. Hurt said the accident occurred at about 11 a.m. and authorities weren't sure if the cause was an equipment problem or something else. Princeton is located in southwestern Indiana north of Evansville.

I can not imagine what the families are going through. How horrible. Do they really believe that it's possible that some of these miners from the first collapse are still alive???? It seems way to long to survive something like this. TIS
