January 21, 2006

CHARLESTON, West Virginia (Reuters) – Two miners trapped in
a coal mine fire in West Virginia have been found dead, a
federal mine official said on Saturday.

Rescue crews were unable to get to the two men in time
because of the heat of the fire, said Jesse Cole of the federal
Mine Safety and Health Administration, or MSHA.
