6 mars 1900 - Forty-six coal miners are killed at the Red Ash Mine at Fayette County, West Virginia
Description:
"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."Ajouté au bande de temps:
