Mine collapse worsens as rescue aims to reach trapped workers

Officials seek the borehole as vibrations were detected for minutes Wednesday in the mine. Rescue teams evacuated Thursday as a cave in at 6 39 p m halted underground work. A mountain bump caused rock to surge, blasting coal and debris, destroying a 30 foot wall section and severing supports. The energy was likened to an explosion and registered a 1.6 magnitude at Utah seismograph stations, the 20th reading since the August 6 initial collapse.
