Encore: The Bob Murray Show
I remember in the early days of the Crandall Mine disaster, mine owner Bob Murray standing at the entrance, insisting that the collapse that killed six miners and three would-be rescuers was an "act of God"— an earthquake. University of Utah seismologists disproved Bob's earthquake theory.
Now, families say it was an Act of Bob that killed their miners. The company, their lawsuit says, pushed ahead with mining even though computer models and an earlier cave-in showed it was unsafe. Lawyer Ed Havas says:
It'll interesting to see if company lawyers can keep Bob out of the spotlight this time around.

We allege that greed, that profits took a higher priority in these operations than the safety and sanctity of human life.Kevin Anderson, Murray Energy's attorney says the company will "defend itself vigorously" from the false claims meant to "sensationalize this matter and vilify the companies and Mr. Robert E. Murray."
What happened at the Crandall Canyon Mine last August was a horribly tragic and completely unforeseen event of immense and unprecedented magnitude. Our clients did not cause this.
It'll interesting to see if company lawyers can keep Bob out of the spotlight this time around.
