Candle is held at vigil for dead miners in Sago
A candle is held during a candlelight vigil in Sago, West Virginia January 4, 2006 to remember the 12 miners who died in an explosion. Joy gave way to grief and anger on Wednesday when a West Virginia coal town learned that 12 of 13 miners trapped in a mine explosion had died, three hours after friends and family were mistakenly told that all but one had survived.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image captured by Joshua Roberts, a candle is held during a candlelight vigil in Sago, West Virginia. The solemn event took place on January 4,2006, as the community gathered to remember and honor the lives of twelve miners who tragically lost their lives in an explosion. The photograph encapsulates the emotions that engulfed the town on that fateful day. Initially filled with hope and anticipation after receiving news that only one miner had perished, joy quickly turned into grief and anger when it was revealed that all but one had actually succumbed to the disaster. The flickering flame of the candle symbolizes both remembrance and resilience. It serves as a beacon of light amidst darkness—a reminder of unity and solidarity within a devastated community. As friends and family come together, their shared sorrow becomes evident through tear-filled eyes and somber expressions. Through his lens, Roberts captures not just an individual holding a candle but also an entire community united in mourning. The photo stands as a powerful testament to human strength in times of tragedy—showcasing how even amidst heartbreak, people find solace in coming together to support one another. This image immortalizes both loss and hope—an everlasting tribute to those whose lives were cut short too soon while serving as a reminder for us all to cherish every moment we have with our loved ones.
