Rescue Effort Resumes After 13 Hour Delay
Hazelton Pa August 25 AP work on enlarging the escape hole for David Fellin and Henry Throne resumed after a 13 hour pause that pushed their rescue to Monday. A 30 inch bit flown from Dallas and a 65 ton rig raised on jacks to accommodate it enabled drilling to 38 feet. Louis Bova 42 remains unlocated about 25 feet away as a smaller 3 inch hole targets him. Plans call for casings and progressively larger bits to reach the surface in a steel capsule. The site sees light rain and optimistic forecasts for early surface recovery.
