Catastrophe in Coal Country: Twin Shaft disaster - Pittston, PA

Описание: The Twin Shaft disaster occurred in the Newton Coal Company's Twin Shaft Colliery in Pittston, Pennsylvania, on June 28, 1896, when a massive cave-in killed 58 miners. None of their bodies were ever recovered. It was one of the largest coal mining disasters in Pennsylvania history (even larger than the Knox Mine disaster many decades later in nearby Port Griffith).
