None
Rescuers raced to find 10 coal miners missing deep underground after an explosion killed 12 of their colleagues on Monday at a West Virginia mine owned by Massey Energy.
The accident at the Upper Big Branch Mine in Montcoal, also known as Whitesville, was one of the deadliest at a US coal mine in recent years. The mine, owned by Massey's Performance Coal subsidiary, is about 30 miles (48 km) south of the state capital, Charleston. (Reuters)
