Candle is held at vigil for dead miners in Sago
A candle is held during a candlelight vigil in Sago, West Virginia January 4, 2006 to remember the 12 miners who died in an explosion. Joy gave way to grief and anger on Wednesday when a West Virginia coal town learned that 12 of 13 miners trapped in a mine explosion had died, three hours after friends and family were mistakenly told that all but one had survived.
