No one will pay for this anymore than Brownie will pay for Katrina. Let the coal companies break the union & then police themselves & you have 14 dead miners. What a system, eh? & notice no one from the coal company was around this time, no one to accept responsibility, but that's the way things work in Bu$hCo's world.
"This was not the first such fire, said one Alma miner, who was granted anonymity because he feared reprisals from his employers. 'I work at the belt that caught fire and had to put out a fire at the same exact spot just a couple weeks ago when the sprinkler system didn't work,' the miner said, referring to a fire he said occurred on Dec. 23. 'I reported the fire to my supervisor, and he ignored it.'
Asked several times about the reported fire in December, Mr. Manchin and state and federal officials said they had no knowledge of it."

Right on the money billycreek,it is absulutely a fact that Union mines are safer than non-union mines. The company drives for every inch of black gold it can get,it could care still less what happens to you. Back in the day before my dad and a lot of his friends got the UMWA
elected in it was a death trap where he worked,he lost a finger and slate fell on him one time,in places like that safety is out the window they do not sit enough timbers and if you should come upon a pocket of methane,,just keep digging.
People and corporations give money to politicians expecting some type of return. When the donation to Republicans and Democrats is 60% to 40% or so or vice versa, I think that is only tending to business. When a company gives 90% to Bush like Cracker Barrel did, I refuse to set foot in the place. Check out "follow the money.com" and others like it to see how companies make their political donations.
This could be fertile ground for some enterprising blogger. Hint Hint
There is more than one way to vote.
