Submitted by mat on Mon, 2012-12-03 18:07
Last Friday brought more terrible news to the West Virginia coalfields. A massive collapse at Consol's Nolans Run Impoundment in Harrison County just west of Shinnston had sent 2 engineers to the hospital and a bulldozer operator to the bottom of the slurry pond. As of writing, the body of the dozer operated had not yet been recovered despite efforts to drain the impoundment and several attempts to send divers. Recovery operations are in full swing and Ken Ward of the Charleston Gazette is posting updates from MSHA
