Fun - thanks for posting that..I knew about that..but glad you found and posted for others to see...we also had the bad top fall about 25 years ago that killed several...all of us on the south end of town knew that something had gone seriously awry..we could always hear the mine whistles and knew what they all meant..and it seemed like it just kept blowing and blowing that night.
