There has been an incident claiming two lives in the coal mines of West Virginia. I am dissatisified with the fact that the owning corporation was a Virginia-based concern. Other reports indicate that there may have been some history of citation for safety violations.
That is infuriating. Allow me a variation on the usual slogan I see around railroad yards: "No profit is so important that safety should be compromised."
See the CBC for more details.
