[MJB]

I don't ever makes posts like this but this one literally hits home.

On Monday April 5th an explosion in a coal mine located in Raleigh County, WV killed 29 people. 29 families have been shattered and our county and state are in mourning.

Please keep these families in your thoughts and prayers.

For sure!  This happens all too often in China.  I really feel for the families of the miners.  The stories about them (young and old) are really compelling.

Tim Irr said this was the worst mining accident since the 1970s. Like Em I grew up in the coal fields, and this tragedy hits close to home. My heart and thoughts in out to all those families thats lives were torn apart by this tragedy.
