The Miracle : At Hominy Falls Mine

2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the Hominy Falls Mine Disaster that took place in the heart of the Appalachian coal fields in Nicholas County, West Virginia on May 6, 1968. Twenty five coal miners were trapped in an underground tomb when 15 million gallons of water broke into the Hominy Falls mine from an abandoned work site. For the next 10 days, the attention of the nation was riveted on the small mining community as volunteers worked feverishly to bring the men out alive, a feat which many believed could only be accomplished by a miracle.
