Hope Fades for Men Trapped in Salt Mine
In Morgan City Louisiana two Kentucky rescue team members descended into the quarter-mile deep Cargill salt mine shaft where 21 miners have been trapped since Tuesday. They reported no signs of life despite hearing motor noise and seeing a small fire. The shaft's walls were intact but elevator beams burned. Rescue efforts faced delays awaiting a safer smaller cage and failed initial attempts. Oxygen supplies and a possible airflow offer hope while specialists from the U.S. Bureau of Mines assess the scene.
