Although I feel for the workers and their families during all this, this is why MSHA's regulations are becoming increasingly tighter and tighter, to the point the mining industry will eventually be unable to function in the United States because it simply exsists as a hazardous job, yet we prove it is acceptable to import mined materials and shove the hazardous work ever more on places like China, who just recently experienced a coal mine catastrophe of their own.
Coincidentally enough, MSHA will be on our doorstep at my job this morning.
