Montcoal, WV, United States (AHN) - Rescuers have found the bodies of four trapped workers at the Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal, West Virginia.
At a press conference, West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin confirmed the discovery, admitting, "We did not receive the miracle we prayed for."
There were 31 workers in the mine when an explosion took place on Monday, likely caused by high methane levels.
There were 25 initial casualties, but authorities held hope for four miners believed to be trapped underground.
Intense rescue efforts began, but were hampered by dangerously high concentrations of methane gas. It wasn't until Friday night that rescuers were able to locate the bodies of the four missing miners.
