Seventeen Miners Rescued From Deep New York Salt Mine
Seventeen workers aged 20 to 40 were pulled from the 2300 foot Cayuga Salt Mine near Lansing after a 10 hour entrapment when an elevator failed. Rescue crews hoisted eight by 8:30 am and finished the last two moments later. The mine, owned by Cargill, is a major regional salt producer with about 2 million tons annual output. Investigations into the elevator malfunction will continue with mine safety inspectors.
