It's a call for a cease of production which means all safety procedures must be thoroughly reviewed before production continues. The announcement follows the deaths of two coal miners in three separate incidents today in West Virginia. "Mine companies, supervisors and the miners themselves are to engage in a thorough review of safety procedures before any work or production is to continue," says Governor Manchin in a Wednesday afternoon press conference. Massey Energy is confirming one death at its Black Castle surface mine in Boone County Wednesday afternoon. That death after a natural gas explosion and fire above-ground. Another coal miner was killed in the Long Branch Energy Number 18 Mine near Danville in a ribfall underground accident. The deaths bring the death toll in coal mining accidents up to 16 so far this year in West Virginia. Thursday marks one month since the Sago Mine Disaster where 12 coal miners were killed.
