Monitoring System Shortcomings At Farmington Mine Hearing
The West Virginia Mines investigation into the 78 deaths at Farmington recessed to December 16 after another day of testimonies from miners and experts. A retired shuttle buggy operator and Dana Harris Sr described failures in Mountaineer Coal Co.’s 15000 dollar monitoring system that was supposed to cut power if a fan stopped. Reports noted the system monitored fans frequently and included alarms, but observers said the Llewellyn shaft lamp house monitor did not shut the power off as required, leaving questions about whether the mine could be safely shut down after an explosion.
