Another miner. is killed in an accident at a Murray Energy owned facility.
http://blogs.wvgazette.com/coaltattoo/"The coal miner who died late Sunday following a roof collapse at the Marshall County Coal Co.’s Marshall County Mine near Cameron has been identified as John M. “Mike” Garloch of Neffs, a management employee."
My deepest condolences to his family. This is a terrible tragedy for the family. May the injured miners have a speedy recovery.
"As Coal Tattoo readers know, McElroy is one of the large underground operations that Murray Energy bought in 2013 from CONSOL Energy. This is the 3rd coal-mining death in the U.S. so far in 2015 and the 1st in West Virginia, according to the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration."
