===Recent=== On August 6, 2007, at 2:48 A.M., [[UtahAmerican Energy]]'s [[Crandall Canyon Mine]], {{convert|15|mi|abbr=off|sp=us}} west north-west of [[Huntington, Utah|Huntington]] collapsed, trapping 6 workers inside. The mine, located just off [[Utah State Route 31|State Route 31]], is about {{convert|34|mi|km}} southeast of [[Fairview, Utah|Fairview]], and {{convert|140|mi|abbr=on}} south of [[Salt Lake City, Utah|Salt Lake City]] ({{convert|100|mi|-1|disp=or|abbr=on}}). The workers were approximately {{convert|3.4|mi|abbr=on}} from the mine entrance and {{convert|1500|ft|abbr=on}} underground. The collapse registered recorded [[seismic waves]] in magnitude 3.9 to 4.0, by [[seismograph]] stations of the [[University of Utah]]. Emery County, the state's No. 2 coal-producing county, was also the site of a fire that killed 27 people in the [[Wilberg Mine]] in December 1984.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/06/utah.mine.ap/index.html?section=cnn_latest ''"6 miners trapped in Utah coal mine collapse"''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080309064440/http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/06/utah.mine.ap/index.html?section=cnn_latest|date=March 9, 2008}}, CNN.com</ref><ref>[https://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070806/us_nm/mine_utah_dc_4 ''"Six miners trapped after Utah coal mine collapses"'']{{dead link|date=December 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, Yahoo!
