- W223417327 abstract "THE WEST VIRGINIA mining tragedy of January 3 of this year should make us all step back and raise some questions about this age of instant information. First, a brief refresher on the story is needed since it happened several months ago. Thirteen miners had been trapped 260 feet below the surface of the Sago Mine since an explosion early Monday, January 2. The mine is located about 100 miles northeast of Charleston, West Virginia. As rescue workers tried to get to the men, families waited at the Sago Baptist Church during an emotional two-day vigil. Late Tuesday night, January 3, families began streaming out of the church, yelling They're alive! The church's bells began ringing and families embraced, as politicians proclaimed word of the apparent rescue a miracle. That news turned out to be false. Instead, only one miner had survived and 12 were dead. The emotional reversal in information devastated families even more than the original news of the explosion and entrapment. Chaos broke out in the church and a fight started. About a dozen state troopers and a SWAT team were positioned along the road near the church because police were concerned about violence. Witnesses said one man had to be wrestled to the ground when he lunged for mining officials. So, who was to blame for the misinformation that sent these poor families on an emotional roller-coaster? International Coal Group Chief Executive Officer Ben Hatfield blamed the wrong information on a miscommunication. The news spread after people overheard cell phone calls, he said. In reality, rescuers had only confirmed finding 12 miners and were checking their vital signs. At least two family members in the church said they received cell phone calls from a mine foreman. According to news wire reports, three hours later, Hatfield told the families that had been a lack of communication, that what we were told was wrong and that only one survived, said John Groves, whose brother Jerry Groves was one of the trapped miners. West Virginian Governor Joe Manchin also announced that there were 12 survivors, but he later indicated he was uncertain about the news. As word of survivors buzzed through the church, he tried to find out what was going on, he told wire services. All of a sudden we heard the families in a euphoric state, and all the shouting and screaming and joyfulness, and I asked my detachments, I said, 'Do you know what's happening? …" @default.
