Sealing Off Kentucky Mine After Two Explosions
Work crews begin sealing Scotia Coal No 1 Black Mountain mine in Owen County Kentucky as 26 men died in two blasts. No 1 mine may stay closed two to three months while methane gas levels are checked and safety fixes applied. The plan includes stacking sandbags and a concrete wall to starve fire of oxygen. Union company and government officials will discuss reopening the other two high seam mines where about 500 Scotia workers may face layoffs.
