Since the collapse happened the media has had on all sorts of folks (lots of union people with a grudge) saying it wasn’t an earthquake. And, some scientists at a Utah university are saying it wasn’t.
There’s also a mindset with many that coal mining is evil, so you have some that want to believe the worst.
I don’t know, I don’t think anyone does at this time, what caused the collapse, despite the theories being thrown around. I feel the mine owner was going to be portrayed as evil no matter what. I feel really bad for him, he is distraught. But from I understand the mine operation was approved by the fed agency responsible for overseeing operations.
You are correct. The rescue operation was also approved by the safety feds.
It seems whenever a tragedy occurs, everyone want someone to blame. In this case, it’s Murray.
I am not at all sure it wasn’t an earthquake originally.
In any case, mining was, is and will alway be a dangerous profession. I doubt there are any guarantees for the safety of miners.
I agree with you. Also they were consulting with mining experts from all over and are planning on bringing them on site. It is human nature to try to make the mine owners evil. I feel for Murray, I don’t think he is a bad man, seemed to be a real mine.
