Y'all remember Bob Murray ... right? That evil motherfucker who ran his shoddy mines in ways that led to men dying needlessly? The guy who played peacock for teevee while six men were dying an agonizing death in his illegal mine?

He gets a shitty little one point six million dollar fine. That's walkin' around money for this rich son of a bitch.



Utah: Fine in Mine Collapse

Published: July 25, 2008

The operator of a collapsed Utah mine violated safety protocols by cutting coal pillars that should have been left standing to prevent cave-ins, federal regulators said. The officials said a subsidiary of the company, the Murray Energy Corporation, based in Ohio, had undermined other pillars by excavating coal from tunnel floors. They also faulted the company’s engineering firm, Agapito Associates Inc. of Grand Junction, Colo., for conducting a flawed evaluation of mining dangers. The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration is fining Murray Energy affiliate Genwal Resources Inc. $1.6 million and Agapito $220,000 for the disaster, said Richard Stickler, the agency’s chief. The Aug. 6 collapse trapped six miners whose bodies were never recovered. Three others were killed during a rescue attempt.
