Not Again



Sounds like a conspiracy, West Virginia Style


Ben Hatfield, chief executive of mine owner International Coal Group (ICO), said the miner was apparently killed by the force of the blast.
The cause of death for the other men was not immediately disclosed. But McCoy and the 11 others did as they were trained to do, and huddled behind a fabric barrier they had set up to keep out carbon monoxide gas, which had been detected in deadly concentrations inside the mine, Hatfield and state officials said.
The fabric - designed specifically for use as a gas barrier in an accident - was stretched across an area about 20 feet wide, Hatfield said.”

Associated Press writers Vicki Smith, Allen G. Breed and Mark Williams in Tallmansville contributed to this report.
