PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Surrounded by smoke from the blast, he urges his friend to follow him, insisting he's found a way out. But the two separate in the dust and darkness. Panic-stricken, he continues to drag himself toward the mine exit, before his body weakens and he blacks out.
That's when Paul Ledford wakes up from the recurring nightmare haunting him most nights.
Ledford was the sole survivor of an underground mine explosion on May 20,2006, that killed five Harlan County coal miners.
