Manchin Says Mine Investigation Moving Slowly
WEST VIRGINIA....
Governor Joe Manchin said Thursday the investigation into the cause of the Upper Big Branch Mine explosion on April 5th is continuing to move slowly, largely because re-entry into the mine continues to be hampered by high levels of explosive methane gas and coal dust. Mine rescue teams still find the conditions inside the mine unsafe for entry and will not hazard a trip underground until that is clear.
