Investigators Evacuate Upper Big Branch Mine
WEST VIRGINIA....
Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration spokeswoman Amy Louviere says government investigators were forced to evacuate Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine after methane started to accumulate while crews were pumping water from a flooded section Monday. MSHA suspects the April 5th explosion that killed 29 miners started with a methane ignition.
