Carbon monoxide levels measured 1,300 parts per million, exceeding the 400 parts per million maximum level that sustains life, said Ben Hatfield, chief executive officer of mine owner International Coal Group Inc.

"We are very discouraged by the results of this test," Hatfield said.

Really sad and at the same time I was surprised it isnt more automated.

Good heavens.

Having an administration that is NOT worker friendly surely didn't help either.

Yep, it's all Bush's fault

You can't blame one mining corporation having bad safety on the president. That's about as rediculous as claiming that the moon is made of cheese. They think that the mine had high levels of methane and was lightning ignited the methane... is this part of Bush's "weather machine" that steared Katrina into NOLA?

What a terrible way to go.

Very. I feel bad for their families. Reminds me of the movie October Sky (I think that's what it was). About the teenager in a mining town who started to build rockets. In a small community like that there is either get a degree somewhere or work in the mine...

Alive.

12, that is.

yup... one died, guess bush has to account for that too...

does bush recieve praise that 12 made it out alive? or will you guys still blame him for that one?

human life is precious, but 12/13 isn't bad considering what happened

 

[Ferocious]

[Aimster]

If it is a joke

I caught Faux News by accident but switched to CNN as soon as that idiot Geraldo started screaming over a telephone connection.

More breaking news: that 12 men survived was just a baseless rumor. Only one man survived, and even he is in bad shape. He's at the hospital right now.
