SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Fresh from striking gold with a reputed multimillion-dollar Australian media deal, two miners who spent 14 agonizing days trapped underground are taking their story to the United States.
Brant Webb, 37, and Todd Russell, 34, will be interviewed on ABC's "Good Morning America" on June 1 or 2, an agent for the two men, Sean Anderson, said Wednesday.
Webb and Russell spent two weeks trapped in a tiny cage lodged under tons of rock in the bowels of the century-old Beaconsfield Gold Mine in Tasmania after a small earthquake April 25 triggered a collapse, killing their fellow miner. They were finally rescued two weeks later by miners who tunneled through solid rock to reach them in a rescue that captivated the nation.
