Mine Safety Chief Issuing Subpoenas
WEST VIRGINIA....
Mine Safety Chief Ron Wooten with the state Office of Miners' Health Safety and Training says he's begun issuing subpoenas for people who skipped interviews with investigators probing the April 5th explosion at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine. Reports of approaching thunderstorms and possible lightning forced exploration teams out of the mine around midday Friday. Those teams have been working at the UBB Mine during the past week.
