2 Men Missing after Mining Accident

A mining accident in Nevada Thursday results in two missing men.

The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, along with the Elko police and their bomb squad, are continuing to search for the two Meikle mine workers.

About 300 employees were present at the time of the 1:15 a.m. accident.

It is believed that a large amount of pressure on a hoist caused the disaster.

The underground operations were immediately shut down and families were notified.

Barrick Gold Corp. have undergone 11 fatal accidents in the past 11 years.

Information on the present situation in regards to the men being alive does not look encouraging.
