Rescue workers secure Nathan Bowman to a rescue stretcher after he survived a 500 foot fall into an inactive strip mine, Friday, April 25, 2008 in Coaldale, Pa. Bowman tumbled down a jagged slope and then free-fell several hundred feet, his descent broken by a rock ledge not far from the bottom of the pit, said Coaldale Police Chief Timothy Delaney, who helped direct the rescue effort.
