A massive search operation is ongoing in West Virginia for a coal miner who became trapped in the Rolling Thunder Mine after a flooding incident on Saturday. The miner, a foreman of a 17-person team, is believed to have helped others escape before becoming stranded approximately three-quarters of a mile into the mine. Multiple agencies, including local, state, and federal teams, are involved in the rescue efforts, which face challenges due to the mine’s terrain. Officials remain hopeful the miner found air pockets to survive in the 52-54 degree conditions.
