Rescuers Make Slow Progress in Reaching Miners

by Carrie Kahn, NPR

Rescuers are working around the clock to reach six coal miners trapped more than 1,500 feet underground in Huntington, Utah.

One of the owners of the the Crandall Canyon Mine says it will take at least three days to get to the miners; it's not clear whether any of the men are still alive.
