MINE HAZARDS: Explosions Bedevil North American Mines
A Pennsylvanian grand jury cites mine management for the Spangler disaster that killed 77 men due to reported explosive gas. In Alabama, 83 were killed and 60 injured by a dust and spark explosion trapping nearly 475 miners, with no preventable cause found. Dust removal and safer lamp practices are urged to cut future accidents. The piece also critiques technology and policy, questioning safety culture and urging broader international awareness alongside domestic industrial vigor.
