...pretty much ensured that it would take a long time to reach them: rescuers essentially have to re-excavate the entire entrance tunnel, now filled with rubble - and do it with extraordinary care. That's because this particular mine is an old one. "You have increased risk," says Davitt McAteer, vice president of Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia and a former MSHA assistant secretary, "because you've already disturbed the ground quite substantially...
...rescuers had to move very slowly, shoring up the walls and ceilings as best they could - an unconscionable situation, says McAteer. "If we cannot get to miners in a faster, quicker and safer way then we ought not to be engaging in mining where the risks are so great. We should not permit mining at that level of risk." Indeed, it was the long delay in getting to miners that caused 12 deaths in the Sago coal mine disaster in January 2006.

...allowed only two runs and the Crimson earned a split against the Tigers. In the first game, sophomore Shelly Madick pitched a complete-game shutout, out-pitching Ivy League Pitcher of the Year Erin Snyder. “That was an unbelievable game,” co-captin Michele McAteer said. “Princeton was a really strong team and we were really determined to beat them. We came out strong and it was a flawless game; we really earned that win. It’s one of the games I will enjoy looking back...
