State probes mine inspector role after fatal Westmoreland blast
Westmoreland Coal faces mine safety charges for the November 7 1980 Ferrell No 17 explosion in Robinson Boone County which killed five. State Mines Director Walter Miller oversees a departmental inquiry into why idle sections were not inspected and whether Bradley failed to note uninspected areas. Inspectors reported 250 violations totaling 255500 dollars against Westmoreland and five supervisors, with two managers fired. Changes to ventilation and pumps on the idle section went unreported.
