Miners Trapped as Rescue Efforts Continue at Simn Bois
In McCurtain Oklahoma fifty five bodies have been recovered from the Simn Bois mine after a catastrophic explosion. Seventy five miners remain imprisoned 200 feet below ground amid poisonous gases and black damp. Rescuers heard the trapped men speaking in cries and a chalky jumble as they attempted to relay their location. Tappings through an air pipe aided the rescue of fourteen more survivors, bringing total rescued to twenty five. Rescue teams, aided by volunteers from nearby mines and government mining experts from McAlester, strive to reach the remaining men, while authorities investigate the cause, with State Mine Inspector Boyle citing gas as a likely culprit.
