Show Notes

On the 16th anniversary of the Upper Big Branch mine disaster, we remember the 29 miners who lost their lives in 2010. The tragedy led to stricter safety rules and a rethinking of mine protection methods. Families of the victims honor their memory with an annual ceremony in Beckley, highlighting the cost of coal country life and the change that came from the pain.
