Mine Disaster Kills at least 25 Miners
Clearing steep hills on Tuesday caused workers problems in the search for coal miners that are still missing from the blast that happen on Monday. According to some workers, "This is the worst mine distaster since 1984. Before crews could start drilling the bore holes going into the mine to search for workers they had to bulldoze a access road to the drill hole sites. Workers have been stopped on and off to do the gases they are running into when drilling. These holes are used as vents for venting out gases and also giving food and water to those that have survived.
As of this afternoon, the workers are thinking about drilling a fourth hole in efforts to find any more miners alive.

Her recovery got worse before it got better. When they first moved her into rehabilitation facility she developed complication. She comments that, “my doctors discovered I had some internal injuries that included my intestine, liver, and gall bladder.” Those complications moved me back to the hospital and turned my skin orange. My mother said that I looked like a Halloween pumpkin. She still has to go to rehabilitation three times a week.
