I use to work in an underground sand mine that the owner could not get along with MSHA,that guy would do every thing they didn't want him to do! Of course he wasn't the one in the mine working. Almost got hit by slabs of the roof a couple times just working there 13 months. I drove an old deuce and half and it only had a canvas top. In the spring when the frost was coming out was the exciting time, the roads closest to the bluff were raining sand and rock, we called them highway He!!. I didn't under stand what took MSHA so long to shut them down! There were enough accidents, In the time I was there, the cab of a 988 cat was smashed, one guy had his hand smashed, too many to count. The one that did it in was when a kid was milling with a 330 cat and the roof collapsed. Some how it didn't kill him but it totaled the 330. MSHA shut them down and ordered them to bolt and mesh the entire ceiling before they could mine in there again. I don't miss that place!
