Ex-Coal Chief Receives Fine And 1 Year In Prison

Description

As he stood before a federal judge, former coal company executive Don Blankenship voiced sorrow for the families of 29 men killed in his coal mine six years ago. However, he also claimed that he did not commit any crime. The judge’s sentence was one year in prison and a $250,000 fine. At the Upper Big Branch mine, four investigations discovered that worn and broken cutting equipment caused a spark that ignited buildups of coal dust and methane gas.
