TALLMANSVILLE, W.Va. - Twelve of the 13 miners trapped in an explosion in a coal mine were found alive late Tuesday after more than 41 hours underground, turning a community's worst fears to unbridled joy. Family members streamed from the church where they had kept vigil, shouting "Praise the Lord!"

Bells at the church rang out as family members ran out screaming in jubilation. Relatives yelled "They're alive!"

8. I'm sure they will have the support of the whole community and the

families of the other 12. Yes it will be hell but at least they are not facing this hell alone.

9. This is great news.

I'm happy for the friends and families of the 12. Although I can see where it might make it all the more difficult to take for the survivors of the one who didn't come out alive.
