As of yesterday, rescuers have penetrated exactly 168 meters of the longwall, digging through numerous collapses (buried workings) along the way. During the night, a tracking dog from the Beskidy Mountain Volunteer Emergency Service was allowed into the longwall area to find potential locations where the missing miners might be. 

So far, 110 rescue teams have taken part in the rescue operation.
