HUNTINGTON CANYON -- The operator of the Crandall Canyon coal mine says no one will be going back into the tunnels where six men have been trapped since Aug. 6.
That means the bodies of the miners may never be recovered.
"I told (the Mine Safety and Health Administration) it is an evil mountain, it is alive, and I will never go back there," Robert Murray said today.
After an Aug. 16 accident killed three rescue workers, Murray said he notified MSHA director Richard Stickler that he would submit "papers" to seal the mine.
"There is only one way to rescue them and that is through the mine. But federal authorities recommend that no one ever go back in that mine."
The families are understandably outraged, the mine CEO conceded.
