MSHA Temporarily Evacuated Massey Mines
WEST VIRGINIA....
MSHA officials say recently they temporarily evacuated three Massey Energy coal mines after receiving anonymous safety complaints and conducting surprise inspections which resulted in multiple citations for serious violations. An evacuation at Independence Coal Co.'s Cook Mine in Boone County came just four days after the April 5th explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine. MSHA says, on March 24th, it found serious problems at Spartan Mining Co.'s Road Fork No. 51 Mine in Wyoming County and at Inman Energy's Randolph Mine in Boone County.
