Search to Go on for Trapped Utah Miners Notme

Officials decided Sunday that the search for the six miners trapped in the Utah collapsed coal mine will continue, although there was no sign of life from them.Robert Murray, the mine's co-owner said that after drilling the six bore hole they would close the mine, but an attorney for families of the trapped Utah miners says the search will continue.The miners from the Crandall Canyon mine were last heard on August 6 before a thunderous shudder inside the mountain cracked the ribs of the mine and filled passageways with debris, cutting off an exit route.Jack Cuzar of the Mine Safety and Health Administration declared: "We found the technology out of Canada. They built a robot, the only one of its kind, that's going to be used in this mine. It's a long shot and I repeat - it's along shot - but we owe it to the families."The federal officials plan to use a camera similar to one used for searching trough the wreckage of the World Trade Center in New York City after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The camera will take images in the darkened cavern from about 50 feet away with the help of a 200-watt light and then it would travel 1,000 feet from the end of the test hole."We're very excited about it. The families are thrilled to hear this," said Colin King, a lawyer for the miners' families.
