Why did his wife divorce him?
As if to not pay any attention to history. Respirator masks?
Coal company don't care but workers shall wear masks to prevent black dust in their lungs, why not! Damn!!
Coal keeps the lights on and blah blah blah
Uuuhhh, didn't we invent new and safer jobs for them to have? Or did they just refuse to learn and adopt?
A liver transplant saved my life, he needs to keep hope for a transplant, he needs to come here to Pittsburgh AGH
follow the money, the PA and WV DEP's i'm sure are paid off
It's in the air all year long around this area, people burn it in their woodburners, I can smell it in my house everytime my heater runs, I have chronic migraines and grand mal seizures, my grandfather and others in my neighborhood died of lung cancer, my mom has copd
Yeah, and Joe Manchin is laughing all the way to the bank.
COOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!
The cost to the workers and the planet far exceeds what it would cost to support every current coal mine worker. We refuse to abandon coal because the coal companies give millions to politicians to keep it alive. If the human and environmental costs of coal was added to its price, nobody would use it, because it would be the most expensive form of energy anywhere.
Why the hell are there still miners at all? Come on… create robots to do this dangerous work. 😢
All the inspector has to do is check the air quality! Also make breathing masks and full time cameras mandatory.
Something good is gonna come your way Kevin. Just keep praying you’re a hard-working man and you didn’t deserve that but God has bigger plans for you. I promise keep your head up.
Absolutely impeccable journalism on a very sad situation.
This brings me back to the 90s. Like a classic Ted Koppel report.
Coal companies not protecting the workers, tell us something new. The money they put in politicans pocket should be spent on safety equipment. 😡
I didn't want to watch something depressing on a Sunday morning. But 'glad (for the lack of better wording) that I did because of Kevin and his story. "Look at stuff different … live for instead of just yourself (stuff) … when my son was born (was the difference)"; reason for life. This which too many in big business, politics don't comprehend even though they're representing us all, influencing boundaries for our society. Even though we have choice, even as we have choice, God bless him, his family and all others involved.
Not knowing the whole story I don’t want to totally dump on the wife. But the optics don’t look good. Who knows?
This is absolutely heartbreaking 🖤
‘Silica dust’ sounds so benign. It’s micro glass shards.
Well, duh. Is this news to anyone?
Poor baby boys! 😭 We should replace the Gentlemen with women so the boys can be safe while the strong women do all the work instead! 😍🙏❤️
The same with most blue collar work. Best way to prevent this is with respiratory protection and disinfectant practices like firefighters do. Firefighters wash their gear and given oxygen masks. Coal miners need the same.
