6 mar 1900 año - Forty-six coal miners are killed at the Red Ash Mine at Fayette County, West Virginia

Descripción:

"The victims were not burned to death", notes an account, "but were killed by being hurled violently by the force of the explosion. Skulls were fractured and limbs broken – some in many places. So great was this force that the air driven out of the mine piled the coal cars in heaps in front of its entrance."
