WV – Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) released the following statement
ahead of the 17th anniversary of the Sago mine disaster.
“Seventeen
years ago, we lost twelve brave coal miners who went to work at the Sago mine
and never returned home to their beloved families. West Virginia came together
after the tragedy to grieve the loss of our fellow West Virginians and support
the families and loved ones of those lost. The Sago mine disaster resulted in
legislation that improved safety standards for our miners who sacrifice every
day to power our great nation. The anniversary of this tragedy reminds us that
our miners are willing to risk their lives for us, and we owe it to them to
prioritize their health and safety. Gayle and I will keep the miners' families
and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers as we remember this tragic loss of
those twelve brave West Virginians.”
