Dotiki Mine Resumes Operations
KENTUCKY....
Nearly a week after the April 28th roof collapse at the Dotiki Mine in Webster County killed 27 year old Justin Travis and 28 year old Michael Carter, the mine has resumed most of its operations. Although state mining officials haven't yet determined a cause for the collapse, Tulsa, Okla.-based Alliance Resource Partners says state and federal officials determined the mine could safely resume operations. Alliance says its investigation showed the "roof fall was an unpredictable accident involving unforeseeable geological conditions." The mine where the collapse occurred remains shut down.
