• West Virginia Mining Disaster

We'll have the very latest on the 13 miners trapped below ground in a West Virginia mine following an underground blast early yesterday.

Tests conducted to determine whether the men stuck in the state's Sago Mine are still alive were discouraging thus far, mine officials said earlier today, adding that carbon monoxide levels in parts of the mine are far above the normal limit.

"There is hope they could be at another location or they could be barricaded somewhere" else in the mine where the carbon monoxide levels aren't as harmful, Ben Hatfield, CEO of the mine owner, International Coal Group, said during today's press conference.

These stories and much more ... don't miss "Hannity & Colmes" tonight at 9 p.m. ET!

About the Show

Fast-paced and hard-hitting, "Hannity & Colmes" brings viewers a heated discussion in a nightly face-off. Relishing in controversial topics, personalities and social issues, conservative radio commentator Sean Hannity and liberal radio personality Alan Colmes offer their points-of-view in an often animated, always compelling debate.

But, unlike similar debate shows — which often appear scripted — "Hannity & Colmes" conducts a live, spur of the moment deliberation on politics and social topics. Also, differentiating the show is its dedication to "move away from the Beltway," bringing audiences an alternative discussion program without the "in" comments.

Adding fuel to the fire, several high-profile guests have joined the program on a wide-range of topics.

"With guests who are 'in the middle of the fight,' we're able to hear their point-of-view on the topics, as well as advance our own feelings," said Hannity.

"Believe it or not, I agree with that statement," quipped Colmes.
