Coal Cellar Lament

On March 9, 1976, tragedy struck the community of Oven Fork in Letcher County, Kentucky, after an explosion at the Scotia Mine killed 15 miners. Two days later, a second explosion killed another 11 miners and federal inspectors, making the disaster one of the worst in US history. Years of legal challenges rocked this close-knit eastern Kentucky community and raised important questions about the safety of coal mining. Join us today for a discussion with Professor Brian McKnight, who has befriended members of the mine recovery team. He will tell us more about this harrowing event and how the aftermath of the Scotia Mine disaster brought major changes to the US coal industry.
