West Virginia mine blast leaves 25 dead seniors killed at Upper Big Branch
The Massey Energy Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal WV suffered a massive methane gas explosion Monday afternoon. Twenty five miners were killed with four missing as rescue efforts halted by toxic gases and risk. Gov. Manchin said drilling three shafts over 1,000 feet would take hours, with recovery unlikely before evening. Officials noted methane ignition risk and chamber searches found one empty refuge. Eleven bodies recovered, a family connection indicated among the dead.
