A fire in an air shaft at Glen Nan Coal Co mine in Nanticoke Pennsylvania trapped 150 miners for over an hour. Fire chief Stanley Fiorkowski said at least 10 were unconscious from smoke inhalation and were taken to Nanticoke State Hospital. The blaze, caused by a short circuit, sent heavy acrid smoke through the shaft as ambulances from six nearby communities transported workers to area hospitals.
