CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The underground search for clues to the nation’s worst coal mining disaster in 40 years started Wednesday as two teams began exploring the West Virginia mine where 29 men died in an explosion in April.
The four-member exploratory teams are trying to determine if it’s safe for government investigators to begin working underground at Massey Energy Co.’s Upper Big Branch mine. The April 5 explosion is the subject of civil and criminal investigations.
