Another advisor for Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force?
"The miners became separated Thursday evening as their 12-member crew tried to escape a conveyor belt fire at Aracoma Coal's Alma No. 1 mine in Melville, about 100 kilometres southwest of Charleston. The rest of the crew and nine other miners working in a different section of the mine escaped unharmed.
West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin and U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller informed families of the deaths at a church prior to making the announcement, along with Don Blankenship, chairman of the mine's owner, Massey Energy."
