Winston-Salem Journal | 'Miracle' happens

Twelve coal miners trapped underground in West Virginia for more than 41 hours after an explosion have been found alive.

Update: CTV News report.

Update: CNN/AP report.

Update: Sydney Morning Herald report.

UPDATE: Update 64: Families Learn 11 of 12 W.Va. Miners Dead. It's 1:18 in the morning here on the West Coast, and we're starting to hear that the initial report was wrong. Now we're hearing that three hours after being told that 12 men were alive, families were told that only one man had survived, and was hospitalized. Details are sketchy, but the key word right now seems to be "miscommunication." The link is to the latest update by AP's Allen G. Breed, as carried at Forbes.com.
