Early Sunday morning, 270 miles away from Denver in Revenue-Virginius
mine near Ouray a mine accident occurred. A mine exploded leaving 2 people dead
and 19 others injured, authorities still aren’t really sure of what caused the
mine to explode. They say if it wasn’t an explosion then then mine just
collapsed. U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez said it appeared to be an
apparent explosives accident. The two miners that were killed in the incident
were Nick Cappanno, 34 from Montrose, Colorado and Rick Williams, 59 from
Durando, Colorado the cause of both of their deaths were carbon monoxide
poisoning.

Analysis:
One thing about this
incidents when it’s something like this and you don’t know the cause of the
explosion/collapse you don’t have anything to go off of. Even though they
aren’t sure about how it happened I feel like they should’ve known what had
actually happened before outing the story. Although, this is a serious matter I
feel like they should do investigating to actually make sure that mines are
safe and that the workers working in the mines are fully protected. Yes, they
know the risks of working in a mine I feel like they should get proper clothing
or gear so some of this can be prevented.
