25 Dead, 4 Missing in West Virginia Mine Blast

Tragic

25 killed in West Virginia mine blast - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/04/06/west.virginia.mine.explosion/index.html?hpt=T1)

wow! that is a crazy job some of the miners make six figures believe it or not. I don't have the balls to do that every day.

Morgan Spurlock had a 30 day special as living as a miner was pretty interesting. With all the fisherman and ax man reality shows I am surprised no one has done one about coal miners.

RIP to all that were lost.

R.i.p

This from the article:
"One lady lost a son and two grandsons," Manchin told CNN. "They were all found together, and I had to tell her."

Wow that sucks.

Damn.. they don't want to give up the industry out there because they don't know anything else, but it will be a good day when the coal mining industry isn't major

There is nothing else.

Don't say that. I don't want any mountain-folk here. That's the last thing I need. Hee Haw on my front lawn. It's bad enough already.

Thankfully they've usually headed west, chasing the wildlife and whatnot. I hear Wyoming is nice this time of year.

Out of respect for the dead, I'm going to refrain from making W.VA jokes. It's too bad that these guys died. They were just trying to earn a living the only way they could.
