Rats In Mines Give Warning To Men In Coal Pits
In Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania August 12 rats in Empire Colliery warned miners of danger by strange behavior. Anthony Kopaski and his son, after watching two rats repeatedly return, left the pit and then the roof collapsed, showering coal and rock and taking weeks to clear. Rats are often spared as miners regard them as unwelcomed helpers against caveins and gas.
