Coal mine collapse in Utah

Six miners are trapped in an Emery County coal mine. I hope they're all right.

I hope so too. Not many jobs are more dangerous than coal mining. I remember a Utah mine explosion 20 years or so ago that killed dozens, IIRC.

My little league baseball coach survived that disaster. He was never quite right.

Are you from Emery County? Must've devastated the community.

No, I'm from Carbon County. Typically I would insult and mock all the rubes from Emery County, but today the Dino-Spartan rivalry is put on hold as prayers are offered for the trapped miners and their families.
