Massey Announces Plans For Mine Reentry
WEST VIRGINIA...
Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship issued a statement Thursday that says, next Wednesday, June 2nd, a 16 member team consisting of Massey Energy, Mine Safety and Health Administration and the state Mine Safety Office officials will re-enter the Upper Big Branch Mine to monitor the air quality inside the mine. Those air monitoring results will determine when more investigators can go underground to work on determining what caused the April 5th explosion which injured two miners and killed 29 others. State Mine Safety Director Ron Wooten says he's looking forward to the reentry at UBB.
