Coal Miners still not found at Melville, W.Va. mines and Randal McCloy is improving.

I am losing hope about the two trapped miners in Melville, West Virginia. I had posted earlier that I was confident they would be found. Time is not on their side. My friends and myself are dumbfounded as to how the two got separated from the group they were with. We all find that very strange. There is still hope as all the ventilation has been working and in a mine that size there should be good air in many places. I do like how they are handling the scene and release of information. The press is being kept away from the families and the miners who escaped are not talking. This rescue has went like clock work. There are over 20 rescue teams working to find the miners. The teams got in fast and the conditions reported do not even compare to the Sago tragedy. The sign we see behind the reporters from the MSM reads one word.....Pray. I have heard that word a lot tonight. Has anyone else noticed that? Every reporter has mentioned that. "These are people of faith....These folks believe in prayer" or something similar has been spoken on every network. I think that is worth a mention.

On a better note it is reported that Sago's lone surviver Randal McCloy Jr. ate a cracker today. That may not seem like much but it is a lot better than a coma. That was his first solid food since the accident. No one can explain how he survived at Sago. I call it a miracle but some will argue that. I believe in prayer and I am sure McCloy's eating of a cracker was the answer to someones prayer.
