Sometimes it begins with the bump-bump-bump of the bass. Or the high-pitched notes of a lead guitar. An amplified greeting from a longhaired singer or the raucous warm-up of the drummer.

It took days for rescuers on the surface to bore a hole into the shaft where the miners, if alive, would go -- a rescue chamber about the size of your living room...
