Quecreek: Critical Decisions
On July 24, 2002 coal miners broke through into an abandoned, water-filled mine flooding the Quecreek Mine with over 150 million gallons of water. Nine miners scrambled to safety, but nine were trapped in a pocket of air in the dark, cold, water filled mine. They were rescued four days later through the combined efforts of state and federal mine rescue agencies and hundreds of workers and volunteers.

Introduction to Mine Rescue Team Training and Competition
This video covers the basis for the safe, efficient rescue and recovery methods followed during a mine rescue
competition. Trained personnel, readily available in the event of a disaster, are vital in the development of
an efficient mine rescue team. Experience has shown that efficiency in mine rescue training can be promoted by
having mine rescue crews compete in mine rescue contests. This video is intended to be introductory information
and instruction. A viewer will gain a basic understanding of the workflow and procedures that a mine rescue team
follows during a mine rescue competition.

Blind Shaft
An underground film from China, in more ways than one. Two criminal drifters, Song and Tang, have developed a scam: they befriend one of the many uprooted men looking for work and tell him that they know of a job at a rural mine, but that the man must pretend to be their brother in order to be hired. Once they go down the shaft with their new relative, they stage his accidental death, and, as the dead man's nearest relations, collect payoff money from the mine's owners. (605 Mb)
