We had a mine owner who gave allot of cash to the Republican Party and a administration that appointed people with business interests to regulate mine safety. These two combined in Utah with the shared conservative values of Utahans. What was the result for workers with families?
I know Bob Murray; he never in a million years really believed that an earthquake was responsible for his mine collapsing. What he believed was that if he said it enough, maybe he could avoid being found liable for the deaths of those men due to his unsafe mining practices and deplorable working conditions. In other words, he believed that convincing everyone of this earthquake melarkey, he could save himself a bunch of money. From beginning to end, money is everything & the only thing he cares about.
I said this yesterday, but I still don't see what's so "New" or "instructive" about this report.
I don't see anything in it we didn't know shortly after the colapse nor anything we didn't know about it when a similar story ran yesterday.
MSHA and the UofU said it wasn't an earth quake shortly after the incident. Now the same groups (MSHA and the UofU) have completed an investigation and decided it wasn't an earth quake? What's new or news about that?
Really, is there anyone out there who thinks this information is a new revelation?
