TORETSK, Ukraine — When a 155-millimeter rocket plows into the ground and you're 2,000 feet under it, you hear nothing — you barely even feel it. Which was why Andriy Podhornay was surprised when his manager came on the walkie-talkie and told the crew in the bowels of the St. Matrona Moskovskaya mine that a Russian artillery strike had just hit. They started moving — fast.
"We were eating when he called us. We immediately went up," said Podhornay, a wiry 32-year-old with a weathered face.
"No one wants to risk getting trapped down there."
