These families will always grieve for their losses and closure will probably never completely come to their lives. Their hearts will be forever scarred and shattered knowing that money meant more to the company then the lives of their loved ones.

Feeling Intense Remorse Sadly Thereafter

Workd in the same hole for 7 months was a red hat had a bad feeling from day soooo glad i left

I live in Texas, far away from the coal mining in those hills and mountains of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and alot of other places where these good men worked so very hard, to provide energy for this Great country of ours. I have worked hard labor all my life. NO MAN should ever have to fear for his life, because their bosses put profit, over safety!!! I cried when I saw this, and how that Evil Don Blankenship SOB exploited the lives of these good men, even after they were dead. You may have only gotten 1 year in prison, =12 days per minor but..... There is a special place in Hell for you! And that sentence isn't 1 damn year! That one carries a sentence of eternity!!!!

What's changed"?... hopefully, the few miners that still choose to illegally smoke underground and put their coworkers' lives in danger, will cease doing so.

government regulations and corrupt unions beholden to politicians are responsible for this disaster.
