Officials: Missing West Virginia miners found dead

Four missing West Virginia coal miners were found dead on Saturday, nearly five days after an explosion that killed 25 others trapped them deep underground at a Massey Energy mine.

 

The death toll of 29 from the blast on Monday at the Upper Big Branch operation, about 30 miles (48 km) south of the state capital Charleston, makes it the deadliest US mine disaster in nearly 40 years. (Reuters)
