Late Tuesday/Early Wednesday we thought that there were twelve miners alive. All of the cable news networks were reporting the same story that 12 miners were found alive. Sadly, the truth came to light around 3am. on Wednesday. I was shocked and saddened when I heard the news this morning about 6:15am. I pulled the post I had written last night. I went to bed thinking that these 12 miners were alive. I can barely imagine the frustration, hurt, and anger experienced by the families of these miners.
I have a question. Were the tabloid cable news networks in any way responsible for the innaccurate reporting and hyping of this story? If time permits, I would like to comment furthr on this matter today. It seems that the Television media went too far on unconfirmed reports.
Below is the information that I "live blogged" late Tuesday night:
There are screams of Twelve Alive! in Tallmansville, West Virgina tonight. Anderson Cooper is reporting this information on CNN as I write. No one is awake for me to share this miracle with!
This is thrilling news. Let us all pray that all of these men are alive and well!
Update: 12:00 midnight: AP is reporting that twelve of the miners have been found alive. Anderson Copper continues his reporting that these miners are alive with one man having died.
The niece of one of the miners is on CNN reporting that her uncle appears to be the man who is dead. The man had to get off "at the belt" and then get with the rest of the crew. Her uncle's name is Terry Helms. She plans to go with the Governor to identify the body of this man.
After forty-one hours, this ending seems unbelievable
12:05: Randi Kay of CNN reports on the various families celebrating the news. They are all celebrating 12 alive!
12:21: Apparently the miners who have survived will make an appearance at the nearby Baptist Church shortly. This is truly amazing!
Representative Shelley Moore Capito (She should be running for the US Senate) thanks the creator who brought this all about. Jubilation!! The miners are not all out of the mine yet.
