Faked safety logs linked to Upper Big Branch blast
MSHA officials said Massey Energy kept two safety books at the Upper Big Branch mine, one for regulators and a sanitized version for inspectors. Regulators allege managers pressured workers to omit hazards, part of a broader probe tied to the 2010 explosion that killed 29 miners. Alpha Natural Resources now oversees the mine and is reviewing the findings.
