Every West Virginian remembers where they were when this happened.
My Grandma and I sat in the kitchen watching the news.

My hats off to you, cold moles, for doing what it took to help others by bringing that money out of the ground. Bless you on your walk to heaven and your families for getting stronger. Amen.

Crandall Canyon was a while ago as well. Lots of life lost there.

my heart goes out to all miners and their families, only they know the dangers and the pain it takes to endure such a loss, alas my views are mining companies are not always upfront when telling of safety checks etc .... the following link th-cam.com/video/sY_u6O_afGc/w-d-xo.html is my modest memorial when Scotlands miners were according to reports let down by mine owners and lost their lives

Oh no!
