John L Lewis Do some research on the 2002 Quecreek mining accident in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. What happened? What role did cutting-edge technology play?

From its beginning, coal mining has been one of the most dangerous

occupations. In the United States, the coal mining industry began in the

late 1700s, as growing railroads and industry required a source of power.

In the coalfields of western Pennsylvania and the eastern Midwest,

miners removed the coal by hacking it from the rock deep underground.

The only light came from candles mounted on the miners’ helmets. Some

spaces were so small that miners could not stand upright. A work shift

usually lasted 12 hours. Miners were expected to work six and sometimes

seven days a week. Children as young as seven or eight were often put to

work sorting the lumps of coal according to size.
