Miners Buried in Mississippi Gravel Pit

Rescue crews on Monday continued trying to reach two miners buried since Friday 3rd June 2016 in the collapse of a gravel pit in Mississippi. The men were operating an excavator and a dump truck at the bottom of a pit in Crystal Springs when they were “engulfed” by a wall of sludge-like material. Officials believe the men are trapped under about 10 feet of mud, sand and gravel. (Source: NBC News web).
