Helicopters mercy flight

Two Marine helicopters come into the Hazleton, Pa., mine today August 25, 1963 where three men are trapped 330 feet underground, in preparation for rushing the two known survivors to a hospital once they are brought to surface. Meanwhile, a huge drilling rig at left continues to ream away at an escape hole already down to the two men. Third man has not been heard from since last week and little hope is held out for him. The two men, barring further delays or mishaps, might be brought up Monday night on early Tuesday. (AP Photo)
