Tapping Tesla to Save Trapped Miners

In early January 2006, a methane explosion tore through a coal mine in Sago, West Virginia, trapping 13 miners nearly 100 meters underground. Cut off from communicating with the miners, authorities could not determine where they were—or even if they were still alive. By the time rescuers reached the miners 2 days later, all but one had died. via Tapping Tesla to Save Trapped Miners - ScienceNOW.
