Digging for blame at Crandall
The U.S. Labor Department's inspector general is blaming federal Mine Safety and Health Administration for negligence in approving a roof-control plan for the Crandall Canyon Mine. A collapse at the mine near Huntington killed six miners in August. A second cave-in killed three would-be rescuers.
Inspector General Gordon Heddell says MSHA, overly influenced by the mine's operator, Murray Energy Corp., erred when it approved risky retreat mining at Crandall Canyon.

Is it just me, or is no one else paying attention to this blog?
You're right: No one is paying attention to the blog.
Probably numerous reasons for that. A couple:
1) Warchol only regurgitates the news and maybe offers a snarky comment somewhere in the third 'graf. Big deal. I'm sure he's busy with other things and can't spend a lot of time on the blog. It shows.
2) Utahns are not, by nature, argumentative folks. They're compliant sheep. So you don't have a very large audience of cantankerous blowhards willing to make comments on blogs. And those who do make a habit of commenting on blogs certainly aren't reading the Trib or its blog.
Kudos to Warchol and the Trib for updating regularly, though.
