University of Utah seismograph stations recorded seismic waves of 3.9 magnitude early Monday in the area of the mine, causing speculation that a minor earthquake had caused the cave-in. Scientists later realized the collapse at the mine had caused the disturbance.


Well it wasn't an earthquake, but damn. I hope they get them out.

Here's a link for anyone interested:

The owner of the mine stated, today, that they believe it will take roughly 3 days to get to the miners.

I'm hoping they'll make it. I couldn't imagine being in that situation.
