The Upper Big Branch (UBB) mining disaster is still rocking the mining industry. The tragedy at UBB, which resulted in the deaths of 29 miners and injuries to 2 others, unquestionably shook the very foundation of mine safety and caused everyone to look at what it takes to protect the nation's miners.
