Tosoro Refinery, Anacortes, WA:............7

Dotiki Coal Mine, Providence, KY:.......... 2

GRAND TOTAL:....................................49
Shame, shame, shame on us!
Massey is going to offer the families of the dead UBM miners a total of nearly $90 million to shut up and go away. How much would it have cost to have the proper safety provisions in the mines to begin with? And how much could we add to that blood money if they hadn't had to bribe the inspectors? Would that have bought the safety of those miners?
What will we learn next about the other fossil fuel disasters that have happened this month? Whatever it is, I have a sinking feeling that it won't be enough. Until people go to jail over things like this, we won't ever get the attention of the likes of Don Blankenship.
