Still no press conference. Local news says they are supposed to get a news conference at 7PM (MDT) or 9PM Eastern time. The 4th bore hole is complete. It takes about 2 hours to withdraw the drill bit from the mountain then a camera & mic will be lowered into the bore hole.
I just checked msnbc and nothing updated online since yesterday and just turned on FNC after reading your post but they're talking about the storms. I really am hoping that they're still alive, but does anyone know if miners in other collapses have survived this long? I really don't know much about the subject!They keep moving the time. From Noon to Six to Seven and now.........I am not sure there is a time. Is there?
I came here to see if anyone has more information. Its just so quiet.
I guess Fox just said after briefing family members........so sometime tonight I guess. Prayers to the miners.
I'm hoping their news conference brings some good news!
where they had planned to put the 4th bore hole before they heard the noises? Why had they planned on putting the 4th bore hole in that location? What was it based on?
RKnowley,
I'm not really certain......except MSHA guy stated they felt the air quality would be best at that area. They took maps of the mines & decided this would be where the air quality was survivable or at least 17% & water.
Hopefully if there was another reason someone else will post it. I was watching the newborn granddaughter & she kept me busy so I missed a great deal of the conferences this wk. Sorry!
Thank you cheko1. I sure wish they would get on with tonight's press conference. They keep delaying it.
Congrats on your new granddaughter! Enjoy her while you can. They grow up so fast!
