Only 1 W. Virginia coal miner now said found alive

TALLMANSVILLE, West Virginia (Reuters) - Only one of 13 miners who were in a West Virginia coal mine when it was hit by an explosion was found alive, a company official told family members on Wednesday, after reports hours earlier that 12 had survived led to rejoicing.

This is by far the sadest article I've had to publish. I had to delete the previous one that said 12 survived. So is the speed of communication today. Fast enough to cause a heartbreak.
