Monday night’s explosion at a mine in West Virginia left 25 dead and four more miners missing underground. Rescue operations were stalled yesterday because conditions were deemed too dangerous. What can be done to make mining safer?
Two miners are in critical condition and four are still missing following the explosion of a mine in West Virginia yesterday. The mine had numerous ventilation violations, which should have signaled that the mine was not safe.
25 miners are dead after an explosion tore through a coal mine in West Virginia’s Raleigh County. The mine is owned by the Massey Energy company, which, according to news reports, has a history of safety problems.
