Nine miners trapped as rescue efforts progress at Pennsylvania mine
Rescue crews reach nine men aged 30 to 55 trapped in a flooded Pennsylvania mine after drills reached the chamber. A 1,500-pound drill bit broke, delaying progress, while two shafts were drilled 100 feet down. Pumps had drained 50 to 60 million gallons of water, air pressures were monitored, and decompression chambers prepared for the potentially high altitude exposure. Helicopters stood by to transfer injured or hypothermic workers to nearby hospitals.

Family mourns four killed in church roof collapse
In Memphis Tennessee mourners prayed for four family members killed when the New Greater Hyde Park Missionary Baptist Church roof caved in on their minivan July 21. The Rev James Gray witnessed the collapse from a van behind his wife Gwendolyn 42 as their daughter Whitney 11 son Jermaine 13 and niece Keisha Mitchell 11 died. Church leaders urged faith despite tragedy as inspectors had long warned the aging structure was unsafe and tearing down the remaining second floor was ordered to prevent another collapse.
