Mine rescue workers who did not wish to be identified leave the Crandall Canyon mine at the end of their shifts in Huntington, Utah, early August 7, 2007. There has been no contact with the six miners trapped 1,500 feet (450 metres) underground after the coal mine collapsed on Monday, and it is not known if they are alive or dead, the director of the mining operation said on Tuesday. Bob Murray, president and CEO of Murray Energy, which owns the mine operator, told reporters it could take three days to cut through the rock to reach the miners.
