FYI-This Day In History

This Day In History in the year 2002, nine Pennsylvania coal miners trapped in a coal mine emerged from that mine after being trapped over 72 hours. Mine workers Randy Fogle, Dennis Hall, John Phillippi, Tom Foy, John Unger, Robert Pugh, Harry Mayhugh, Ron Hileman, and Mark Popernack helped each other survive by sticking together in a flooded mine shaft. At its worst, the waters rose up to the miner's necks.

The miners story was told in a made for TV movie called, The Pennsylvania Miner's Story starring Graham Beckel, Dylon Bruno, and Marisa Ryan. Also, a documentary about the nine miners was done called, Our Story: 77 Hours That Tested Our Friendship and Our Faith for the Discovery Channel. Lastly a book about the nine miners was written called, All Nine Alive: The Dramatic Mine Rescue That Inspired and Cheered A Nation.
