- Hi This Is Serena Ellison I am a Coal Miners Daughter.. You will see my dad all throughout this video, he is the one holding me the bald baby girl... My Grandpa Tony Farruggia is also in this video, as a baby standing in front of a coal train and later in life in the coal mines, also in this video is my Father in law, my uncle James who died in the mines, as well as MANY friends and locals here in WV. I am PROUD of what these miners do every day, not saying I am proud of how the companies treat them.....This song by the Great Blackwater Outlaws, "Covered in Coal" is used along with these photos of our hard working Miners as a Tribute to the worst coal mining disaster since 1984.
We will never forget that terrible day April 5th 2010 in Raleigh County WV at the U.B.B. Mine.
They will be forever in our hearts as we reach out to lend their loved ones left behind a shoulder to cry on and a helping hand.
Rest in Peace Miners, your babies will be taken care of. Your WV Neighbors will see to that.
As a miner i can totally relate to this song. I am a mine rescue team member simply because men like these deserve to see their wives and children at the end of each shift. God bless all the miners, whatever company or seam. We are all brothers down there.
It is Friday night 1:07 am.. just a few short days ago we found out about our miner's, in the U.B.B. Mine disaster in Raleigh County. Today we have confirmation that our 29 miners have gone on to another place... It is with a heavy heart and a tear stained face, we report this sad news... But like the song say's the sun WILL shine.. these miners come from good stock and they have left their mark in West Virginia. We will make them proud.
Started there in 03 as a red hat those brave brothers r the same men who taught me how to b a coal miner ur comment and this song hits deep gives me chills to this day god bless u 🫡🫡🫡
Oh man That's got to be the hardest thing to discover you lost your loved ones. Like a total nightmare being hit by a Mack truck
My father was a coal miner, as was my grandfather, they both worked at Olga Coal Co. in Coalwood, WV. I am a proud coalminers daughter!
Sandy Smith my husband worked at coalwood in the 70s
A lot of people may not understand what a good hardworking man
has to do to provide and make a life for his family.
Im proud to be the son of a WV coal miner.
I love this video and I know all to well how a family feels. My son works every day down in the mines and I pray every day God brings him back home safely.
My family is a long line of Coal Miners, born and raised in West Virginia. I'm damn proud of my heritage.
Wow tears me up inside. GOD Bless each and every Coal miners of West Virgina. And Thank you forvdoing this Vidieo. Lots of Hugs and Love you All

Song is awesome appreciate . WV .. (COALMINER FOR EVER )
@fta777 Thank you Daddy... you were a big part of why I made this video...
I WAS A COAL MINER .. WORKED RIGHT DOWN ROAD WHEN THAT HAPPED ....(GOD BLESS THE MINERS OF WV.)
I'm still covered in coal in West Virginia. Don't know how much longer we got. It's been 21 years , and I cant think of a place in the world where coal miners fit. We are just a shade different than most folks. 2019 isn't a good time for coal miners, 2020 gonna be a little tougher, but we ain't quitters that's for sure
This is a great song for the miners of wv this song touches my heart as alot my family is coal miners both present and past so I want to thank all the miners out there for their hard work so thank you and the ones we lost in u.b.b may they rest in peace
Wood County proud. Best folks you could ever meet!
After working in the coal mines, and my dad and grandpas 3 generations long as well this song really hits home...thanks for posting
god bless all the coalminers I'm a coalminers daughter and wife so I thank god for them everyday I.m proud of them
JOE MANCHIN THE POSTER CHILD FOR WHAT A CORRUPT POLITICIAN LOOKS LIKE! JOE MANCHIN WAS A HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTER. HE DOES NOT STAND WITH THE MORALS AND VALUES OF THE AVERAGE WEST VIRGINIAN!
My heart goes out to all who has ever lost a loved one to the mines. I'm new to the mining life style. I have 2 sons that work for a constuction crew that builds the mines. I have never been so scared in my life as I am everyday they are working. May God Bless all the men who work building the mines or mining the coal..
My Dad works just a couple miles below where this happened........God Bless Our Miners and Their families, and everyonekeep them in your prayers
my brother works in the coal mines in Kentucky got allot of respect for y'all
Great song. Great Video. Thanks for putting this together. I hated hearing about this disaster. I lived & Worked in Raleigh County, WV before I moved to Texas a couple years ago. My heart hurts for them all. God bless the Coal Miners and their families.
I lived in Fayette County for the first 19 years of my life, and my heart is still in those West Virginia hills, though I now live in Alabama. My prayers are with the families and friends of all the miners.
I cannot even begin to explain how it feels to know that 29 of my husbands co-workers were killed. He was lucky and blessed to have been working outside that day. He NEVER works outside. I still cannot believe how he has been spared. I thank God for having His hand on my husband and the other men who were spared. I will continue to pray for the families of the deceased miners.
west virginia miners are the backbone to this country , we take pride in what we do, i miss being home and working in the mines my heart goes out to all those back home
I love this song, I was born in Logan and my parents moved to Beckley when i was 4. I love and respect the unique and brave type of man it takes to get the job done. I live in Alabama now and i still think of WV as home. I visited the Eccles mine site about 15 years ago where 180 men died . The monument to them was grown up and unattended, no benches or flowers just like no one cares. I am sure the direct descendents of these men have passed but the town should clean it up . God love the miners.
Who's watching in 2020? Great video thanks 👍
My whole family worked the mines, it is a hard life and most time thankless, think about those who gave thier life for your comfort. God Bless
my uncle works at this mine, Thank God he was not working that day. Very nice video, are these pictures of the miners that died?
i was in WV trout fishin when the U.B.B mine exploded i was only a couple of miles away when it exploded we could feel the blast and hear it, im sorry to everyone who lost loved one in the explosion
I love this song, I cried thru the entire song, My Dad just passed away on Feburary 25th from lung problems due to Coal and Rock dust in his lungs.
I miss my home!!! I miss my dad too I love you daddy!! I'll come visit soon!!!
@mistylomas I am so glad your husband was spared. We can never question the Lord. Your husband still has something left to do here on this earth... I am praying for those families that are left behind to carry on.
I can remember being at work on 2nd shift in ohio when i found out about the explosion my heart sank to my feet with fear for those men and their families. I can remember being at work in the break room when they did the coal miners sos and no one answered and I cried because i knew that they were in heaven. Coal miners are in my family and my friends and I am greatful and thankful to you all for all your hard work.
I can't believe it has been a year. They will always be remembered. I remember watching on the news to see if they would be survivors, and then finding out that twenty-nine miners were dead. I remember seeing the crosses. How sad it was and is. They gave up their life to keep the lights on for W.VA and other states, and also to put food on their table. A lot of disasters has hit West Virginia and other states too. This mine disaster and I hear the gas station explosion. My aunt was in that.
beautiful song and beautiful and sad story of loss. miners are the heart of america without them we wouldn't have our american way of life. they are no diffrent then our servicemen and women. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS.
Absolutely brilliant. So much understanding in the song.
I come form wv and was born and raised there but when my grandpa died he was such a big part of our lives we moved I still live in wv but 8 hours from my home tow of kermit wv
God bless these hard working men.
I remember my Papaw had a mining belt he took to us if we didn't show respect or did something he said. He'd apologized afterwards and taught me some valuable life lessons.
by god west Virginia I love coal miners I am from west Virginia born and raised I live Virginia now now but I miss west virginia
My big sister was and is a coal miners daughter. Luv u bobbie
What is the name of this song and who sings it ? I’ve heard it so many times and I tear up every time, I’m a fifth generation miner , I’m the last of the family in the mines now they’ve all since past and I feel them in my heart every morning as I cage down and start my day

@bronco602 Hate to hear that, My father has black lung as well. He worked all his live in those coal mines and provided for his family he worked harder than any many I have ever come across in my whole life... Coal IS an important industry. It is a hard job, that has to be done. These men choose to work this job.
@wvserena My roots are from w,va. I was born in cleveland ohio. I have familt in Chapmanvill and beckley Alot of family works in those mines. I love the coal miner...
@kooterpoots I am so sorry for your loss, my friend Angela England's husband Ivan used to work with Dewey they were great friends she emailed me a couple of pics of some of the men who were in the explosion. Ivan had taken some mining pics of them underground I think Dewey had a pic in that bunch.. any way I am doing ANOTHER Tribute video I am currently working on it now, but I am waiting for all the other miners names to be released. I don't want to leave anyone out... I have 23 names so far
RIP 29. Coal miners in Appalachia still have to fight daily for a safe & healthy workplace. To hear how miners who make safety complaints today are treated by outlaw coal operators, check out Raymond Crooke's song "Big Coal Don't Like This Man At All" on TH-cam. 1293. Big Coal Don't Like This Man At All (Original) - with Marco Acca on guitar It tells the true story of Kentucky coal miner Charles Scott Howard, who stood up for safety at an underground mine operated by Arch Coal and was fired as a result. He filed a whistleblower case, won his job back and is working in the mines again!
May God Bless keep and protect their families tonight and always in Jesus name we pray. Amen
@Madboxlive I am so glad your Uncle didn't go that day.... and I agree.. those protesters have NO IDEA what they are protesting against... they use electricity they enjoy computers no doubt that are POWERED by the very same electricity our coal miners provide. There will ALWAYS be someone out there who wants to tear down.. but we don't have to be that way.. We are from West Virginia, we are Strong, God Fearing Hard Working People. We will stand PROUD, we always have and always will. God Bless!
@beyoncefan2382 No they wouldn't release all the names until the men were out of the mines or I would have put them on. Once I get all the names I am going to post them under the video heading.. Some of the guys in the video like my friends husband Carl Wall worked at the mine, actually Carl was on the rescue/recover team as well. My daddy, my uncle James, my grandpa are also in this video as well as a lot of other local hard working coal miners.... when one miner hurts we all feel the pain.
gone but never forgotten
thank you
my great papaw, my papaw, and my dad were all coal miners and my dad still is I'm going to be the 4th generation
im soon be a miner and be in that orange mining suit so i know my heart goes to these families for they will be rememberd i sorta following my own fathers foot steps being a miner
I live in Whitesville, so I was a few miles from the coal disaster when it happened.
