I’m sorry to hear this news :

The Associated Press (AP) reports today that two miners at Sago committed suicide in the past month. Their jobs included watching for safety hazards inside the West Virginia mine before a methane explosion killed 12 miners Jan. 2.

John Nelson Boni, whose job that day was to maintain water pumps, shot himself Saturday at his home in Volga, W.Va., and William Lee “Flea” Chisolm, the dispatcher responsible for monitoring carbon monoxide alarms and communicating with crews underground that morning, shot himself Aug. 29 at his home in Belington, W.Va., authorities said.

It’s sad and I’m sorry the signs were not spotted earlier. I guess the trauma of what happened to their co workers and friends was too much to handle. But what is being done to ensure mine safety now? Sadly I think nothing is being done especially with a Bush appointee that was from the industry running the apparatus that is supposed to be regulating the mining industry. This is what Lassiez-Faire gets you.
