Cenk took the facts in here from many articles, but the primary one he mentioned is a great 2006 article from the Lexington Herald Leader. You can read that here:

Yes it is a dangerous industry and not all deaths are preventable but what is happening here isn't freak accidents it's people getting paid to turn a blind eye and let situations happen. These people are on the same level as dirty cops. They prevent regulation and safety to fill their pockets. As far as I'm concerned they are criminals and deserve all their property taken away and given to the families who lost loved ones.

Elaine Chau - how do you sleep at night ? I await that day you pay for what you've done . And I just wish I could be there to see your ugly face when that day comes . Same goes for you , disgusting imp against all good and pure : Mitch Mconnell . One day You WILL get what you deserve . I just smile at the day your Karma comes back to devour you .

@Xigano1 OLD BOY MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND, TELL ME A EASY WY TO MAKE IT ?

Excellent. That same corporate attitude, so very much worse, outside America's borders, drives the mentality in the country and is the reason why America is not only broken down but broke and in debt as well. Apple workers in China, coal miners in Virginia; it's the same difference. It's why the poor need to stay united. There is always a worker or citizen being exploited or killed somewhere in the world and you need not look to foreigners for the culprit; they're in America living it up.

VERY WELL DONE, GOOD RESEARCH HAS ANYBODY DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT ? THE GODS TAKE THE MONEY AND WE DIE.

Willingness to put even a single person in danger for the sake of personal wealth and prestige is wholly evil. Trading humility for greed should be illegal. People who allow harm (when they have the power to prevent it) in order to further their own interests are without conscience, compassion, and humanity. Therefore, they are evil: at any level or theatre—from playgroud bully to pope—just plain fucking evil.
