It is when theres an earthquake.
Who is he trying to convince if you could see the mine map the area where the miners where trapped had been longwall on both sides and they were mining the barrier block on the way up, they were having too put up chain link fencing on the main line because of coal bursts because of weigh pressure on the coal pillars if you take all the support out which was the coal the mountain will come down which it did. Yes it had seismic activities because of the mountain collapsing for lack of support not a natural earthquake
Rip
This guy is stupid he is trying to blame a man made suicide mission on Tech tonic plates shifting a.k.a. (earthquake) which is bullshit. I work in a underground coal mine in southeastern Ky and this that happened here is known as a BUMP. We have them in our mines and they are very violent some are worse than others. It is caused when the top of the mountain pushes down on the coal seam and it blows outward the mine I work at has the most coverage over it in all of underground mines in USA.
Possibly the last job on earth I would ever volunteer to do. Rest peacefully, miners.
Ol bob on damage control lol
@beautifuldisasterHS
You are full of baloney.
Those Miners are responsible for the condition of the mine.
99% of the accidents their work area looks like a bomb just went off – tools scattered, evidence of shoddy workmanship everywhere, these men are problem.
The Miners create the unsafe conditions or continue to work in areas where there are numerous indicators that conditions are unsafe or unstable.
I believe this was pool footage shared by all the TV stations and newspapers. We don’t claim ownership of it at KUTV.
Ol uncle Bob tried. Provided many good paying jobs which allowed several families to live good, clean, and healthy lives. If it was a stable way to provide income, I’d go back in a heartbeat. It was good middle class living….and even fun at times. Would have to say that I miss the job and all the friends I made while working underground
@mstaff657 for sure you have no idea what is to be inside a mine mate. Miners are the people that make the world running. Just everything in the world depend on us, or your think that they create basic materials from tiny air.

I’d like to take that blue pole and wrap it around bob murrys neck
When you are greedy, when being filthy rich is not enough you take out too much coal. when you take out too much coal the mountain in greedy bobs words the mountain will bump. killing men.
Did you finally come face to face with the facts ?
yes, don’t you mean slack jawed troglodytes ? risking their lives – Please
Coal miner always blame the mine owners for their poor mining and safety practices.
Further they are the most arrogant of the american workers, which makes it very dangerous to work with them. Do yourselves a favor stay away from coal miners at work and you will live much longer, they are very unsafe people.
