The other side of Almost Heaven: Hawks Nest Tunnel Disaster: a song by T. Paige

@droctagonapus26 My grandmother is the daughter of Cecil Jones.  She never knew her father as he died along with his brothers before she was born. Until yesterday, her daughters and grandchildren were not really aware of this massive tragedy. Thank you to the people making the songs and films so we have more information about our past.

We will probably be meeting some day because know David and speak to him often. He is suppose to be coming to my mother's to interview us for the film.

My grandfather was Charles Jones. I am so proud that this tragedy is finally coming to light.

@droctagonapus26 Thank you so much for the comment. With the film coming, I feel it is time that the men that died in this tragic event be memorialized in song(s). Friends of mine are working on the film and they will give the men the honor they deserve, so long overdue, for their contributions to safe working conditions for all Americans. They paid the ultimate price, as did their families. God bless you...
