No word from the six trapped miners yet by Ana Maria Ciobanu

The six trapped miners could be facing all the problems in the world right now. After three days of digging the rescuers haven't found them, and no hammer tapping in the sealing has been heard. It's only a matter of luck if they're alive. The families must be devastated and they have all the reasons to be. The six men are probably in total darkness at the moment because their head lamps must have burned out. They're wearing thin work clothes in 58- degree cold and no one wants to imagine how frozen they might be if water is seeping into their chamber 150 stories below ground. Officials state they still have air left but all the statements are just assumptions and their condition is probably anyone's guess. Rescuers are trying to clear rubble from a horizontal tunnel in an attempt to actually reach the miners and bring them out. Progress is unfortunately very slow at about 300 feet a day and officials say it could take a week or more to break through to the miners. Trapped miners who have survived are helping the rescuers imagine the situation the six men are facing and are describing them several ways of staying alive and several dangers that can occur. What can be more horrible than being trapped and your life depending on others, leaving you helpless and waiting? Let's hope it won't be long now till they reach them because they might still have a good chance of staying alive.
