Kinda lends creedence to what Bob Murray has been saying... but then I have to ask, "If you know there is seismic activity in the vicinity, why do you continue to operate the mine?

This is really a shame. I sure hope the new hole hits a pocket where the guys are located. Whether they are alive or not, we all want some closure on this.

Speaking of Bob Murray, I read that he's an old coal miner from Ohio and has survived two mining accidents himself. He's the kind of CEO that stands up for the little guy and doesn't let his position go to his head.
