The nine Pennsylvania coal miners who were trapped underground for 77 hours have sold the TV and book rights to their story to The Walt Disney Co.
Each miner will receive $150,000. That was the word Thomas Crawford.
Crawford said the deal includes a movie for Disney's ABC network and a book to be published by the Burbank company's Hyperion Publishing division.
Crawford says he received more than 120 offers for the miners' stories. AP
