Yes. I work for a coal mine about 20 miles from the mine where the miners are trapped and I know two of them quite well. Don Erickson (who is also a cousin to my wife) and Luis Hernandez (who worked at our mine up until a month or so ago and left to go to the Crandall Canyon Mine) Having worked in the industry for 27+ years it becomes a pretty close-knit community.

They are six coal miners, officials still refuse to release the miners names, however the following names were obtained by media from the families:
1-Manuel Sanchez
2-Don Erickson
3-Kerry Allred
Three of the trapped miners believed to be Mexican.

No I don't know them but my heart still goes out to the families. What a terrible ordeal.
