The Monon­gah Mine Dis­as­ter in Monon­gah, WV was the biggest mine dis­as­ter in Amer­i­can his­to­ry and has al­so been list­ed as the great­est in­dus­tri­al ac­ci­dent in Amer­i­can his­to­ry. The of­fi­cial to­tal dead the day of De­cem­ber 6, 1907 was 361, but most es­ti­mates put the num­bers clos­er to 500 to 550 men and boys who died. Com­ing up on the 100th an­niver­sary, we have put to­geth­er a short video to re­mem­ber those who came to this coun­try in search of a bet­ter life, those who died that day, and those who car­ried on. Thanks to The Hill­bil­ly Gyp­sies for the use of their song. Please search out this sub­ject to find out more in­for­ma­tion on our past.
