Crews working to get camera inside mine
by Notme dfsfs



In an effort to reach the trapped miners from the Utah collapsed mine, rescuers are now trying to lower a robotic camera and drill a new hole into the coal mine.They hope that the hole would break into the coal mine's so-called kitchen, a designated safety area 1,800 feet underground where the miners could have sought protection after the Aug. 6 cave-in.On the sixth hole, with just 10 feet to go to reach the targeted area, the robotic camera used to probe into the mountain where six Utah miners are trapped became stuck. The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration district manager, Jack Kuzar, reported after giving a briefing to the miners' families in Huntington, Utah: "After it could not move forward any longer, a search crew had to pull the camera out of its hole."Now they have putted their hope on the seventh hole hoping to discover the trapped miners."I think they had quite a bit of hope that something would come out of this," said a spokesman for a number of the miners' families, Sonny Olsen. "They're a little bit disappointed, but they understand it's difficult work."The rescue team said that the mountain is very instable and that makes the rescue mission risky for underground digging or to drill a hole wide enough to send a manned rescue capsule into the mine.
