In Utah, families are coming to the realization that six trapped miners won't be found alive. Rescue efforts to find them in the Crandall Canyon Mine were suspended indefinitely on Friday. Officials told the miners' families the men's bodies may never be recovered. A memorial service is planned for them at a school this Sunday.
