Breaking this hour, the two bodies of the miners, Don Bragg & Ellory “Elvis” Hatfield, in WV were found by rescue workers. Both Gov. Manchin and Sen. Rockefeller spoke at great length, making heart-felt promises to not only the state of West Virginia, but also miners and industrial workers everywhere. This is just tragic!

Gov. Manchin: Monday I will introduce in the state of West Virginia three pieces of legislation. I will introduce one that‘s going to be (for) a rapid response. There is no way that we should not…and I repeat, we should not be able to be responding as quickly as possible. God forbid, something happens to me health-wise, I can get an ambulance fairly quickly. But if something happens in a mining or industrial accident, it doesn’t seem to work in the same urgency and that’s going to stop… it’s going to stop in WV. We are going to have rapid response.
This is quite tragic for not only the Bragg & Hatfield families, but also those of the Sago Mine tragedy. Let’s pray for them all.
