Rescue could take weeks

August 12, 2007

Efforts continue in Utah to rescue six miners from collapsed mine, although rescuers have warned it could take 3 weeks. The miners failed to respond to rescuers pounding on a second drill that has penetrated the collapsed Utah mine, but there was a "survivable space" and safe drinking water, U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration chief Richard Stickler said at a news conference on Saturday.
