Grall Eyes Return to Sago Mines After Explosive Losses
Tallmansville reports Ronald Grall, survivor of the Sago Mine disaster that killed 12 co workers, plans to return to work with about 145 miners weighing whether to resume underground duties at Sago and nearby ICG mines. Grall, 63, says his wife is more nervous than he is as the mine remains closed during investigations. In Atlanta, CDC data show 91 percent of flu samples resist rimantadine and amantadine, raising concerns over bird flu response and prompting use of Tamiflu and Relenza for ordinary cases.
