US mine disaster survivor returns home
It wasn’t a fancy US homecoming, just some red balloons, handmade signs, a lot of hugs and his wife’s home-made lasagne - but it was everything the only survivor of the Sago Mine disaster wanted after a three-month recovery that continues to amaze doctors.
He is thin and still a bit unsteady on his feet, but Randal McCloy. Was strong enough yesterday to leave the Morgantown rehabilitation hospital in West Virginia where he has spent two months in intensive therapy, recovering from a severe brain injury and regaining his physical strength.
