According to MSNBC staff and news service reports, after 41 hours of being trapped underground in a West Virginia coal mine from an explosion, 12 of the 13 miners were found alive. The body of the 13th miner was found about 700 feet from the mine car.

This morning a turn of event for the worst was announced. Twelve on the thirteen miners were found dead and on in critical condition.

On Monday, the miners were doing a regular routine. They were about two miles deep in the coal mine when an explosion occured, tapping the miners in the mine car.

This is a rigorous occupation of the old days that still exists and supports most of the country.

Please keep the families in your prayers. God Bless
