Miner Survives Two-Week Underground Ordeal in Pa Mine
Miner Henry Throne recounts being trapped more than 300 feet underground with David Fellin for 12 days in Hazleton Pennsylvania. The pair faced darkness, hunger, cold, hallucinations, and a near-death flood, finally reaching the surface after a drill reached them and rescuers pulled them to safety. Throne says he plans to quit mining and attend church regularly.
