Looks like there was a related mine collapse, but maybe that isn't for sure yet.

This shows footage when the collapse started at about 25 seconds in.

Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

The St. Louis based mining company that was running the underground limestone mine has said it was a collapse in one of their tunnels.  They let it be known as none of the miners were injured.
It was even reported by the BBC.
