"TALLMANSVILLE, W.Va. - Jubilant family members celebrated news early Wednesday that 12 miners were pulled alive from the scene of an underground explosion, only to learn nearly three hours later that they had been misled and just one miner actually survived."

Wow, that sucks.

The N&O has it wrong this morning, I guess when it went to print that was the story...but it really sucked for me to get the paper, then to see on the news that they had it wrong.

God be with their families...it's a terrible way find out about a loved one dying...

Holy shit that horrible. Saw the front page of the N&O this morning, then heard about the reality on NPR not 5 minutes later. I can't imagine what those families are going through right now.

12 does not equal 1

biggest typo EVER.

it wasnt just the n&o

i was up last night when every news channel made the announcement.

everyone was jumping up and down, crying out of happiness. they were reporting that the miners would be coming out in 20 minutes to see their families before they went to the hospital to get checked out.

this sucks
