What's going on at the Utah mine ?

6 miners trapped 450m below the surface for about 11 days. Nobody knows whether they are dead or alive. Camera/microphone were lowered into the pits to see/hear any signs of life.. No signs were detected. Now, another accident kills 3 rescue-team members. The perils of the so called "retreat mining" are becoming apparent in this case. The mine owner insists that the first mishap occurred due to an earthquake and not because of retreat mining. But seismologists think it's the other way round. They say the mine collapse triggered an earthquake. I think the mine owner is going to get into trouble over these accidents. How are these things regulated ?

A video from one of the cameras lowered into the mine. No sign of life detected. If the miners are still alive, they are in for a very very difficult time.



Link to a news report on these incidents.

At 11 days, unless they found some source of water I don't believe they are alive. They could go by without food, but 11 days without water is impossible. It's a bit of a useless effort at this point, especially if people are dying in the process of trying to get, what in all probability will be, corpses.

I just hope they died quickly and painlessly.


I can't even imagine how horrible it may have been though.

Search Suspended. But i guess they are digging a forth hole where they think the miners went to for safety.

If you notice in the video, there's plenty of water where the guys seem to have left their work bags. So in all probability, if they are alive they atleast have water to drink.

A cave-in could create seismic activity that would shake the ground (hence, an "earth" "quake"), though I imagine it wouldn't be very bad.

On another note, I can see it now in the headlines... 4500AD: "Ancient American Mine discovered; well preserved artifacts may provide historical details and answer many archaelogy questions"

The 6 miners may never be found. 4th hole fails to show any sign of life. I just hope the miners died immediately from their injuries and did not have to experience a slow and agonizing death. There is now only a theoretical possibility that they may still be found alive and rescued.

quote:
After a camera lowered through a fourth bore hole again showed no signs of six workers trapped in the Crandall Canyon mine, officials on Sunday acknowledged what many had already feared. "It's likely that these miners may not be found," Rob Moore, vice president of mine owner Utah Energy Corp., said during a Sunday afternoon news conference.

Video from the latest bore hole drilled from the top of the mine into caverns below showed extensive damage to that area of the mine, and oxygen levels measured at 7 or 8 percent - not enough to support life. Work is now beginning on a fifth bore hole in a new area where, based on conversations with those who survived the Aug. 6 collapse, the miners might have fled, Moore said. Yet Moore said he expects to find oxygen levels again incapable of supporting life.

When asked if the fifth hole drilled from the top of the mountain will be the last, Moore replied: "We'll need to discuss that further but it may very well be." Moore's words and somber tone were a shift from almost two weeks worth of statements claiming the work would not stop until the miners were found. As recently as Saturday night, Moore had said the work was a rescue effort and not an attempt to recover bodies...

oh, and, wait, fuck linearity, i just smoked a bowl.

3,742,069 "AD":

"On a defunct exoplanet once known as 'Urth', geoquantum electromagnetic seismographs have noted non-decayed, reconstructable helix structures, similar to that of modern day organisms, within a defunct mindshaft. Spectrum analysists are currently reconstructing the events, presumably of a non-sentient ancient lifeform within our own genetic lineage which disappeared over a million years ago due to mysterious circumstances. It is believed that they may have been able to use basic tools in order to scavenge for food and survival."

hah
