It has been 11 days total since the August 6th Utah Mine collapsed. Officials brief the families every day as to their progress trying to reach the trapped miners. However, the rescue efforts were compromised and as a result three of the rescuers were killed by another fatal collapse, and six others were reported injured. According to foxnews.com "The seismic activity underground has just been relentless. The mountain is still alive, the mountain is still moving and we cannot endanger the rescue workers as we drive toward these trapped miners," said Bob Murray, chief of Murray Energy Corp., the co-owner and operator of the Crandall Canyon mine." Reportedly rescue workers heard strange noises coming from the mine giving everyone a glimmer of hope that they will find these men alive.
