ORANGEVILLE, Utah —
Crews searched Friday for the two remaining bodies of the 27 victims killed in the coal fire that raged through the Wilberg Mine nearly a year ago.
Emery Mining Co. spokesman Bob Henrie said 10 bodies were recovered Thursday, leaving only two victims unaccounted for. The bodies are those of workers who were in the mine on Dec. 19, 1984, trying to set a world production record.
