Map misfiled could have prevented Quecreek mine flood
A 1964 map showing mined-out Saxman tunnels, stored in a coal company closet, might have prevented the 77 hour Quecreek mine flood trapping nine miners in 2002. The Saxman map was outdated and did not mark the adjacent water-filled tunnels. A 202? federal report notes the map’s retrieval during the investigation into Friday’s transformer explosion that injured two workers at the Quecreek mine.
