Mine Rescue Teams Reenter UBB
WEST VIRGINIA....
Around 8:15 A.M. Monday morning, four mine rescue teams entered the North and South Portals of the Upper Big Branch Mine. No elevated gas readings were reported at sampling locations or by the teams. The teams followed the prescribed plan for re-entry and exploration, and, by 1:00 P.M., had examined the #5 set of seals and the #1 and #2 set of seals with no reported problems. The exploratory teams are attempting to make sure it's safe enough for investigators to start searching for the cause of the April 5th explosion.
