It is nearly midnight here in Utah and so far I know three men have died and six have been injured trying to rescue six men trapped in a coal mine. DH grew up in little, close-knit Huntington (the town where the miners live) where the incident command center is adjacent to my in-laws' home. My father in-law used to be a mine safety engineer and DH's grandpa used to own a mine and be a coal miner (even survived a mine collapse). DH does not know any of the trapped miners and the identities of the rescuers is unknown. Still it hits close to home.
Please remember these miners, their families and this community in your thoughts and prayers. There are a lot of hurting families right now.
