Friday Morning Tri-State Mining accident update.

Friday Morning Tri-State Mining accident update.

Here is another angle of John’s shovel with John and I standing by it. It is hard to believe this monster of a machine could be completely buried.
Yesterday at the accident sight there were more set backs as the shovel was stuck in the mud for several hours.
Last night they did locate the shovel and plan to delecately start digging away to get to the cab.
They believe the dozer is very close to the shovel. They may already have opened the cab of the shovel by now.
They are now saying the chances of survival are very slim.
