Search for miners could take days

It could take rescue workers two days to search for miners in West Virginia, a mining official said. The rescuers must drill bore holes 1,200 feet down to ventilate the mine according to Kevin Stricklin of U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration. Four miners are unaccounted for and are at serious health risks to methane and carbon monoxide Stricklin said.  

The explosion happened Monday afternoon at Massey Energy Co., 30 miles south of Charleston, according to CNN. The explosion resulted in 25 deaths, in addition to the 4 unaccounted for men. The mine has had previous safety problems, including three men dying in the last 12 years, according to federal documents. This accident was the biggest mining disaster since 27 people were killed in Utah.
