A tiny camera inserted into open space behind tons of collapsed rock and debris has so far found no sign of a missing silver miner in Idaho, a spokeswoman for the mining company said Wednesday. The camera is designed to work in plumbing pipes and is not capable of immediately giving a large-scale view of the open space, said Melanie Hennessey of Hecla Mining Co. “It will take a bit of time to get an understanding of the area,”’ she said. The camera, inserted through a 180-foot-long bore hole completed on Tuesday, provides images from such a small area at a time that rescuers are not sure how large the open space is, she said/Nichola K.

Question: Are you as amazed as I am re: the tremendous effort to find missing miner Larry Marek?
