| I have few details as CNN is just breaking the story.
It's one man in Kentucky trapped by a collapsed roof. From what stftclmshell has mentioned about Ky drift mines and thin seams the trapped man may be in a low seam which won't make a rescue easy.
edit: It's the Maverick Mine close to Pikeville near the Virginia border.

| Pretty rainy here in Kentucky tonight, which doesn't help matters much. | |

| Sadly to say, it was a fatality. He was 44 and operating the roof bolter when a large slip of rock crashed down on him. It appears he was re-bolting part of the main roadway outbye (futher away from) the face crew. | |
