In 1968, an explosion tore through the Farmington No. 9 coal mine in West Virginia, killing 78 miners. But what happened after the blast may be just as disturbing. A federal mine inspector later uncovered a memo suggesting known safety violations were ignored before the disaster.

The 1969 Farmington Mine Disaster They Don't Teach You 78 miners entered Consolidation Coal Company No. 9 in Farmington, West Virginia. Only 19 survived. The mine had been cited for over 1,000 safety violations in three years, but the company kept operating because fines were cheaper than shutting down. 59 bodies are still sealed in that mountain today. #AppalachianHistory #FarmingtonMineDisaster #CoalMining #WorkersRights #AppalachianReckoning Farmington mine disaster, Consolidation Coal Compan
