I can't believe that no one has mentioned the
mine accident at Sago Mine, Buckhannon, West Virginia, yet! The reports that I've heard have said that the soonest the drilling to where they
hope the 13 miners are could be as long as another 47 hours.
FWIW, my brother said that caves are always about 55 degrees, which surprised me; this particular mine has had many violations, though. Supposedly, they have about an hour of oxygen each available. They are so deep, though, much deeper than the Quecreek Mine in 2002. My heart and prayers are with the miners & their families.
There are many of the GLOs represented here on GreekChat have chapters at West Virginia Wesleyan, which is in Buckhannon. A
list of the fraternities & sororities is on their website. Let's just help that they open their hearts to help, if possible.
