The Huffington Post reported that 3 miners in southeastern Kentucky became trapped early Monday morning when part of the coal mine they were in collapsed from heavy rainfall.
All three miners are safe and are expected to be rescued.
Communications were established with the miners, who were trapped behind water in the Jellico No 1 mine, and emergency responders were speaking with them every 15 minutes.
Responders are using four pumps to remove water from the mine.
The mine is located near Middlesboro, a town of 10,000 in Bell County.
