My neighbor, good friend and fellow tractor enthusiast was in a horrible accident this morning and his family could use all the prayers they can get right now. He works on a coal mine and from what we know right now he was running a D-11 dozer in the open pit with a high wall right above hime. Well, we got about 3" of rain in the past 2 days and the high wall gave way when he and another guy was right under it.
He is buried under about 75ft of dirt/rock as I type this. Hopefully a miracle will happen and he will be dug out alive. The chances of that happening are very slim however.
Please just say a quick prayer for him and his family tonight. He has 2 daughters and a grand baby on the way that we pray he will get to meet someday soon..

The Baltimore Sun just posted this story about the accident. Our prayers and hopes go out to those two men and their families.

My prayers are with them. Looks like they are pulling out all the stops to try and save them. Rescue crews from MD and WV are already there and Gov. O'Malley has made the Maryland National Guard and state police available if needed. We need a happy ending story after the VA Tech shooting this week.

Between the kids at Virginia Tech, Our brave soldiers, and your friend, looks like I'll be on my knees most of the night, but I don't ever mind adding people to my prayer list, because I have seen it work way too often.
Consider it done.

Not as of yet 10:30 pm est. They are digging frantically but are hindered because every so often the dirt/gravel/coal falls to replace what they have dug out.

We've includesd him and his family into our prayer list along with all of the Hokie family. Thanks for letting us know Scesnick.

May God's will be done.
