Is Utah Mine To Become A Tomb

It would seem that the time to give up in the Utah mine collapse hs come, and it will now become a tomb for the six miners who were trapped after it caved-in nearly two weeks ago.

Six coal miners caught in a cave-in may never be found and could forever be lost to the still-quivering mountain, officials conceded Sunday, abandoning the optimism they've maintained publicly for nearly two weeks. Relatives responded by accusing federal officials and the mine's owners of quitting on the rescue effort and leaving the men for dead.

May these miners rest in peace, and NOW is the time to make sure that answers are found for what caused the cave-in, and whether there was negligence on the part of the mine owners or the government agency that watches over mine safety. It is sad that six men and three rescuers died in this mine, and may their deaths' not be in vain!!
