The Sago Mine Disaster
Twelve of the 13 miners trapped after an explosion of the Sago mine in West Virginia were found alive. Randall McGloy Jr. suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning, a collapsed lung, brain hemorrhaging, and more. He remained in a coma for more than 20 days and was unable to talk for weeks after waking up. The international coal group who owned the SOGO mine disagreed with ICG's president and CEO Ben Hatfield that the disaster could have been avoided.
