Product Description

It was a day that started out just like any other at the Quecreek mine, but none of the men working the 3 to 11 p.m. shift that Wednesday could ever have prepared for what was about to happen to them. Nine Alive is the story of nine Somerset County miners who showed unwavering courage and strength, waiting nearly four days for rescue while 244 feet underground. It is also the story of several hundred dedicated and tireless rescue personnel who refused to quit until all nine were safely above ground once again, overcoming fatigue, equipment failure and despair along the way. The Associated Press' full-color photography and up-to-the-minute news coverage reveals the ultimate story of bravery and hope that had all the world holding its breath and praying for a miracle.
