 It is vital that accurate information on workers underground are available if mine accidents occur so rescue teams can immediately ascertain who is trapped underground, who has been saved and in what sectors of the mine people are still trapped.

 I am asking miners and management at every mine operation to do the right thing: Take one hour out for safety's sake this Monday. Be proactive in preventing future accidents and saving lives.

 Why was it expending precious resources hunting for ways that allow operators to use hazardous belt air to ventilate miners' working sections instead of protecting trapped miners?

Another possibility is that the temperature in the mine, about 55 degrees, can actually affect this blood test, which is challenging to do.

Lewis went underground only two days after the explosion. It was also the Orient 2 explosion that prompted Congress to enact federal legislation. On July 16, 1952, President Harry S. Truman signed into law the Federal Coal Mine Safety Act, after John L. Lewis testified before Congress about the disaster. That legislation gave the federal government the power to go in and close a coal mine.

 They're making miners work excessively long shifts. They have too many miners underground.

 The true heroes of this effort are the mine rescue teams who risk their own lives to save those of their fellow coal miners. At the darkest hour of this rescue effort, we prayed for 13 miracles.
