Wonderful rescue as three miners survive four days trapped
In Wilkes Barre and Nanticoke Pennsylvania on February 9, three miners from Susquehanna Coal Company No 3 colliery were rescued alive after four days trapped beneath flood and coal. Crager Shilling and Rineer endured darkness on a slender timber plank while air grew scarce and coal settled above them. Rescuers Bender, Bowen, Jones, Hopins, Reese, and others finally freed them, with Crager and Shilling driven to madness at times but saved.
