Local press saw ex-Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship, sentenced to 1 yr jail & $250k fine protesting Clinton in WV

The massive coal dust explosion at the Upper Big Branch coal mine, located south of Charleston, was later declared by federal authorities to be the country's worst coal mining disaster in decades.

The company kept two sets of books to mislead miners and inspectors, tipped off crews before surprise inspections and intimidated workers to prevent them from reporting violations, the report found.

2. And?

What's your point?

Coal and the jobs associated with it is considered sacred to many folks down there.

Some politician must've drifted into town and upset them.
