Cargill Deicing Technology reported that the mine’s roof collapsed Monday morning, trapping the miners underground, according to the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, which oversees underground mining operations across the country. An MSHA spokesperson confirmed the administration is aware of the incident and is currently investigating, though more details remain unavailable. Click here to read more.
