Can you believe the turn of event in West Virginia over the last couple days?

Reuters does a good job of matching photos and the storyline

Explosion followed by a delay in getting into the mine
Then a drill from 300 feet above to test the air
The air is bad
Then a rescue team finally goes in
Then that team announces they found one dead body but it looks like the other 12 men walked away from the equipment
Then misfortune, a rumor starts that all 12 are alive!
3 hours later, only one is alive and everyone wants to know who started that first rumor.

So an overheard cell phone call, was falsely reported by the media and ruined a dozen families lives?
