25 die in mining accident; West Virgina

Sad shit is sad.

 

I just read the first bit, sounds like there were known problems to begin with.

 

They have been fined and cited many times before, which means the owners of the mines basically killed them. Maybe they will get charged with mass murder.

 

My family has some connection to the mine, my grandparents were telling me. Like my great-grandfather used to work for that mining company at that mine way back in the day.

It's tragic news regardless of who was involved. I pray for their family and friends.

 

Definitely.
Health and safety act 1974

 

They been fined over 600 times for safety reasons. They will sue the shit out of them, other than that nothing much.

 

Damn =/ my heart goes out to the families and friends. thats just horrible
