Camera sees no sign of life in US mine

Another attempt to sink a video camera deep inside a Utah coal mine where six miners have been trapped since a collapse a week ago yielded no signs of life, officials said today, frustrating crews trying to find the men.

The camera was paired with better lighting, but still only saw about 15 feet when it was lowered into the mine overnight, said Al Davis, who oversees Western operations for the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. The images that came back included a distorted conveyor belt and an intact roof.
