Adding my thoughts and prayers. There are several miners in our neighborhood but not from this specific mine. It is such a tragedy.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the families and friends. My Grandfather was killed in a coal mine explosion in Southern Illinois in 1951, leaving behind a wife, 17 year old daughter (my Mom) and a 9 year old son.
Such a tragedy!

sometimes it's easy to forget the unsung heroes that make up our wonderful country. May God bless these wonderful souls and their families. I hope that your community can feel all the love we all send to you.

Thank you everyone for your prayers.Some families have just been told their loved ones didn't make it and some still don't know.But the number is high and it doesn't look good,but we will never give up and we will keep the prayers going.I knew people from this site could be counted on.Thanks again,and keep up the prayers.

I don't live close to the mines, but they're in our thoughts as well.

Please pray for the Davis/Napper Families and their friends. My friend Joshua Napper and his uncle and cousin were all killed in the mine explosion. What a terrible loss for their family, losing 3 members all at the same time! Keep them in your prayers.

Josh leaves behind a young daughter. He was just 27 years old.

Yes, the blast happened not very far from the mine my father-in-law works in..... I have many coal miners in my family, and it's just such a way of life in this area that sometimes we tend to forget just how dangerous a job mining is. These men put their lives on the line every single day, to provide us the fuel to keep our electricity on. Please keep their families in your thoughts and prayers-- they have a long road ahead of them in the next few months.

I grew up just about 30 minutes from where this happened, although I live in another state now. My dad, grandfathers, uncles, cousins, etc have all been/are coal miners, so a tragedy like this really touches home. Earlier today, a partial list of the confirmed dead was released, and I sadly learned that I knew one of the men...I went to middle school with him. I talked to a friend today who still lives in the area, and one of the missing men is a good friend of her husband.

My thoughts and prayers are going out to the friends and families of all of the miners involved.
