Initial attempt to rescue 13 in coal mine fails

TALLMANSVILLE, W.Va. - An underground explosion at a coal mine trapped 13 miners, a county emergency official said Monday.

The explosion happened about 8 a.m. at the Sago Mine in Upshur County, said Steve Milligan, deputy director of the county’s Office of Emergency Management. Six miners made it out of the mine and refused treatment.

The trapped miners’ condition was not immediately known as an attempt by rescuers to reach them was unsuccessful, Milligan said.
