Biographical / Historical

Hurricane Creek Mine Disaster:

The Hurricane Creek mine disaster occurred on December 30, 1970, shortly after 12:00 p.m. and resulted in the deaths of 39 men. It occurred a year to the day after the passage of the Coal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1969 as was frequently mentioned during coverage of the disaster. Recovery was complicated by the fact that a foot of snow fell on the mountain roads at the time of the accident. It was the deadliest United States mine disaster since the Farmington Mine disaster (1968) and is the subject of several songs.

That day, the 38 dayshift workers entered the 3 ft. tall mine shaft at 7:00 a.m. and crawled down to approximately 2,400 ft. The explosion occurred around five hours later (at about 12:10 p.m.). The bodies of victims were removed within a day, and the mine was sealed until investigation could begin. There were two survivors of the explosion: A.T. Collins, who was blown out of the mine by the explosion while reentering the mine shaft after a lunch break, and Harrison Henson, who had been sent outside to get tools. Henson had turned around to return to the shaft when the mine exploded. Collins was one of three miners who testified that he had seen primer cord (an illegal fuse) at the mine site before the explosion.

Buffalo Creek Flood Disaster:

The Buffalo Creek flood was a disaster that occurred on February 26, 1972, when the Pittston Coal Company's coal slurry impoundment dam #3 (located on a hillside in Logan County, West Virginia) burst four days after having been declared "satisfactory" by a federal mine inspector. Dam #3, constructed of coal slurry sediment that had collected behind dams #1 and #2 dumped into the Middle Fork of Buffalo Creek starting in 1968, failed first following heavy rains. The water from dam #3 then overwhelmed dams #2 and #1. Dam #3 was approximately 260 feet above the town of Saunders when it failed.

The resulting flood unleashed around 132 million gallons of black wastewater (cresting over 30 ft. high) upon the residents of sixteen coal towns along Buffalo Creek Hollow. As a result, 125 people were killed, 1,121 were injured, and over 4,000 were left homeless of a population of 5,000. 551 homes and 30 businesses were destroyed. The disaster destroyed or damaged homes in several towns, including Saunders, Pardee, Lorado, Craneco, Lundale, Stowe, Crites, Latrobe, Robinette, Amherstdale, and others.
