Search for Missing Miners Continues

The search continues in Mississippi for two miners who were buried inside construction equipment at a gravel pit last Friday. Officials say Emmitt Shorter and James Hemphill were buried under 10 feet of mud after a landslide at the Green Brothers Gravel company site in Crystal Springs.
Officials believe the men did not survive. Search teams are now using heavy duty pumps to help recover the bodies.
State emergency management officials say the search for the men is now a 24 hour operation.
