Mining is dangerous work. Every day miners are faced with explosions, floods, cave-ins, and toxic gasses. Mine rescue is a vital part of the mining industry, requiring very specialized techniques for freeing trapped miners. Missouri University of Science and Technology has a program of mine rescue and each year members of the Missouri S & T mine rescue team compete with other institutions and mining companies to test their skills.
Follow UMR's Mine Rescue Team as they perform a simulated rescue at the University of Missouri-Rolla's test mine.
