On April 5th, 2010 a massive underground explosion occurred in the Upper Big Branch coal mine in Raleigh County, West Virginia. 29 miners were killed in the explosion, making this the worst U.S. coal-mining disaster in 40 years. The UBB mine is operated by Performance Coal, a subsidiary of Massey Energy,
the Richmond, Virginia based company whose CEO Don Blankenship is notorious for prioritizing coal production over the health and safety of miners and local communities.
