Crandall Canyon Coal Mine Collapse

August 12, 2007

Just came off four busy days covering the efforts to rescue six trapped miners in the Crandall Canyon coal mine outside of Huntington, Utah. I’m thoroughly exhausted, and can only imagine how the rescue teams who have been working nonstop for nearly a week feel.

A lot more to say and photographs to show about the story, and it’s still unresolved. Let’s hope those guys are okay, that there’s a miracle. It seems that in the coverage it’s easy to forget the six men at the center of it.

I did two multimedia pieces on the story last week. Click the links below or click the photos to watch the pieces.

    Nice, the first one was my favorite of the two. The NY times does alot of slideshows with a photographer’s narration and maybe it’s because I shoot too, but they are always a different kind of interesting than just ambient sound. It was very good.

    I was looking forward to this entry I was watching the news the other night and saw you in one of the shots. Your shots were great. I hope this story has a happy ending

Got something to say?
