A hearse carries miner Steven "Smiley" Harrah, 40, past a sign offering prayers to miners and families in Shady Spring, West Virginia, on April 9, 2010. Harrah is one of 25 known to have died after an explosion in Upper Big Branch Mine in Montcoal, West Virginia on April 5. Four miners remain unaccounted for as rescue workers have been unable to fully search the mine due to dangerous gasses. UPI/Roger L. Wollenberg
