Recovery efforts at the scene of a gravel pit landslide in Copiah County, Mississippi buried two workers and the equipment they were operating in. \u00a0Rescue crews on Monday will continue trying to reach two miners who have been buried for over 60 hours following a gravel-pit collapse in Mississippi.<\/p>\n

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said the men were operating an excavator and a dump truck Friday at the bottom of a pit in Crystal Springs when they were “engulfed” by a wall of sludge-like material.<\/p>\n

Officials believe the men are trapped under around 10 feet of mud, sand and gravel.<\/p>\n
