Sighting of Bodies Completes Lengthy Vigil Carmichaels, Pa. -UIPH- The last of 37 miners trapped by an explosion deep inside a giant soft coal mine five days ago were found dead Monday night. Shortly before last mid night, an announcement was made at the head of the Frosty Mine shaft of giant Robena No. 3 mine that "11 more bodies had been sighted." The dead count was com plete - all 37 were killed by the blast. First one, then four, then seven . . . then more, the bodies were found by rescue teams which had battled since last Thursday afternoon when word was flashed that an ex plosion had occurred 680 feet beneath the earth's surface. The grief stricken families, who had kept a long and silent vigil, filed out of the small depressing waiting room near the mouth of the deep miles-long Frosty Run shaft upon learning that none of the miners had been found alive. There were few tears, but the wan and forlorn faces told of their emotions. Reflects Prayarful Ordeal Their silent grief reflected a prayerful ordeal under taken in an uncomfortable corrugated iron building nestled In the snow-covered hills of southwestern Penn sylvania. Despite the evidence against survival, the rescue teams worked determinedly in the miners' tradition of never giv ing up hope until the last missing man is found. Only the grim task of re covering the last bodies and identifying them remained. Identification was difficult be cause of the condition of the bodies. Dr. Dave Fingle. a U.S. Steel Corp. physician, and Greene County Coroner Frank J. Behm said their findings showed the cause of death of the men whose bodies were brought to the surface was the 'tremendous force of the ex plosion." "Death was instantaneous," the two men said. Begin Ttdioua Search In a matter of hours after the explosion, rescue teams entered the gas-filled shaft to begin the long tedious search for the trapped men. Additional teams gathered to aid the probe under con stant danger from deadly me thane gas, possible roof falls and the chance of another explosion. The 24 rescue members were aided constantly by 75 to 80 volunteers. Hope for the survival of the 37 trapped miners dimmed steadily as the long rescue ef fort progressed and then end ed with the sighting of the fi nal 11 bodies. Plan Investigation James B. Girod, assistant superintendent of Robena No. 3. said plans for mapping a full-scale investigation to de termine the cause of the blast probably would begin Wed nesday. Joining in the investi gation, he said, would be the U.S. Department of Mines, the Pennsylvania Department of Mines, management learns and possibly representatives from the United Mine Workers union. 1 . ...
