Recovery Efforts Underway for Missing Woman in Pennsylvania Sinkhole

The search for Elizabeth Pollard, a missing grandmother believed to have fallen into a sinkhole linked to an abandoned coal mine in Unity Township, Pennsylvania, has shifted to a recovery effort. Despite efforts to pump oxygen into the mine, authorities are "virtually positive" she is in the mine but unlikely to be alive due to poor conditions. The search has been complicated by the mine's instability, and crews are preparing for inclement weather to continue recovery operations. Pollard's family has been informed of the situation, and the area remains under surveillance.

"Maui Residents Confront Devastation as They Return Home After Deadly Wildfires"

Residents displaced by a summer wildfire in Maui were allowed to enter the burn scar to see their destroyed properties for the first time, marking a painful step towards closure. The Aug. 8 Lahaina wildfire killed 97 people and destroyed over 2,000 buildings, mostly homes. The re-entry process is being carefully managed to minimize exposure to toxic dust, with officials aiming to complete the re-entries within one to two months. The fires have reignited distrust in the government's recovery effort within the Native Hawaiian community, which has long fought for a share of the state's natural resources.

The recovery process is expected to be lengthy and difficult.
