	Description:	Dull in contrast and imagery, occasional video glitches. News in Brief: Coal Mine Disaster. A time of suspenseful waiting and prayer, as rescue teams dig toward 440 miners trapped in a deep shaft for nearly a week. Rescuers are slowed by deadly gases and hard rock formations, and hope fades, but the digging continues. Caucasian rescue workers in gear. Black African miners (?) or rescuers eat and drink. Worried Caucasian woman sits with handkerchief in hand, girl or young woman behind her. Another white woman looking distraught, being comforted. Black African woman looking terribly upset.
