I think you have mis-interpreted what glock rocks said.
I guess you don’t live in coal mining country do you mmanager? I do. I live in the remains of a small coal-mining patch town. In the past, around here, we’ve had several mine disasters where we’ve lost up to 40+ miners at a time. The ‘bones and blood for coal’ that glock rocks talks about are no exaggeration. He’s not being facetious. He’s stating the truth. I know families who are minus a husband or dad from mine accidents. It is hard, dangerous work, but it is part of an industry that made our country great. It’s no different than the sacrifices many men made in building Hoover Dam, or building some of the skyscrapers.
Oh you are so wrong. Been in the industry for 30 yrs. Grandfather was in a major explosion in PA back in the 30’s. Ex Wife’s father missing leg from accident.
Was down on the ‘face’ just last friday.
My company had two teams at Crandall with one in route when the last bump happened.
I probably am closer to this than anyone at FR.
By the way the mine disaster I am referring to is Samples Run in PA. Look it up. I believe 23 perished. My uncle was outside the portal when the mine blew. Picked up his bucket and walked home.
