At-a-glance

   On April 7, an unfortunate mining accident in Montcoal, West Virginia, was caused by an explosion of methane gas. When this is not being done, the conditions can cause severe injuries or death.   Rescuers failed to find any survivors after days of searching through the mess.  The death toll has reached up to 29 miners so far.  Twenty-eight of the men worked for the Massey Company while one was a contract worker.  Families have suffered because of this devastation.
