ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Jesse Guills,
I Charlene think's that the coal mine disaster was a total accident, and I don't think that anyone should be held responsible. It is a dangerous thing, and the miner's know this when they leave their home in the morning.
Dear Harold Michael,
ReplyDeleteI think that some accident is what caused the UBB accident. I think that safety courses should be mandetory and happen every month to help with future accidents. There is no one to blame. Coal mining is a very dangerous job. Something was bound to happen at some point in time.

Dear Don Caruth,
ReplyDeleteHi my name is jillraye and i am writing to say what caused this incedent. non body really knows and never will. alot of people was there though. it sucked!! my foster dad was there but didn't get hurt. so we couldnt have anything to do with it. jill
Dear Tim Miley,
ReplyDeletewhat can be prevented is sent less people in there and not let out that much coal I was basicly raised in clarksburg and thats the city nothing to do and usally the coal and stuff is out in the country. I dont think they should blaim any onne stuff happines just be careful that jod can really get you hurt. I dont think legal actions should get followed cause it really wasnt ant ones fault that we know of just an amasove explosion i guss thats what happined. All im saying is who ever they send back in there ill pray for them they should be more careful.

Dear Mr. Jim Jordan,
ReplyDeleteMasset coal miners lives are lost to the horrific thing that President Obama is allowing to happen. If he would say no to have the studd that is being asked of him things like this would not happen. I happen to know a lot of people involved with the exploion and i am be yond greayful that they are still alive. My sorrow goes out to all who have lost a loved one. I am greatfully happy that my ex-foter dad is still alive, Terry Hubbard.

I think that the coal miner disaster wasnt on purpose but if people knew that there were leaks they shouldnt have sent the men down there. Steven Harrah was one of the men to get killed in the accident, He was a thoughtful and loving man who had children and a wife who i was really close to. He would leand anyone a hand who he thought he could help and he didnt deserve to die. But we all know he is in a better place and he will always be loved.
