Prayers for fellow CTD fan.
My neighbor, good friend and fellow CTD owner was in a horrible accident this morning and his family could use all the prayers they can get right now. He works on a coal mine and from what we know right now he was running a D-11 dozer in the open pit with a 250ft+ high wall right above hime. Well, we got about 3" of rain in the past 2 days and the high wall gave way when he and another guy was right under it.
He is buried under about 75ft of dirt/rock as I type this. Hopefully a miracle will happen and he will be dug out alive. The chances of that happening are very slim however.
Please just say a quick prayer for him and his family tonight. He has 2 daughters and a grand baby on the way that we pray he will get to meet someday soon..

Crobtex,
Yep, that is it. Thanks for the link. I just got a call from Mikes daugher, ( mike is my buddy that is trapped) She said he was not in a D-11 as first thought. He is in a YUC ( very large rock truck ) this is good news. The bed of the rock truck covers the cab for protection from falling debris alot better. He is still buried but this is some good news...
The prayers are working already please keep them coming.

Mikes daughter also told my wife that the authorities are NOT calling this a recovery effort. They are calling it a rescue effort and are optimistic of his chances since he is not in the D-11 dozer and is in the heavily protected YUK instead... They ar enot promising thenm anything of course but this is better than nothing...
