One WV Miner Found Alive (Updated)

A great end to a harrowing tale: A mine explosion in West Virginia left a dozen miners trapped, and now they've been found alive and pulled out. Righteous. Reminds us of Pennsylvania's own mining heroism story from a few years ago. Glad to hear the miners are fine. Now get back to work, the Bush Administration needs more fossil feuls to exploit...

Update: More coverage all over the Internet. (BBC -- Fox News -- Fark Thread -- Houston Chronicle -- SignOn San Diego -- SF Gate -- SBS -- Daily Telegraph (Austrailia) -- Globe And Mail (Canada) -- New Straits Times (Malaysia))

Update Update: Uh oh. They were wrong. Turns out only one person survived, and he's in critical condition. Sorry folks. No happy ending here... (Link -- via Fark)
