Title
Scotia - Coal Mine Of Doom: The Tragic Scotia Mine Explosions of March 9 and 11, 1976 - Paperback
by Eddie Nickels (Author)
On March 9 1976, a terrific explosion ripped through the Scotia Coal Mine in Oven Fork, Kentucky, killing 15 men. Two days later 13 men were sent inside the mine to investigate the cause of the disaster, only to experience another devastating explosion which killed 11 of those 13 men. The mine was then sealed with the 11 bodies still inside the mine until their recovery over eight months later. This is the full story of those deadly blasts that nearly destroyed the Scotia Mine.
Author Biography
Eddie Nickels is a retired Scotia Coal Miner who is eminently qualified to write of the two devastating explosions of March 9 and 11, 1976. As a volunteer on the mine recovery team, he had occasion to visit the scene of both explosions and to observe the areas involved in some detail. He also helped to recover and ventilate the active sections of the mine in order for production of coal to resume. After retirement from Scotia, he worked for a large insurance company as an Account Representative. He has three children, eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren and lives in Mayking, Kentucky. He is the author of three other books; Six Years to Live, Marine Corps Draftee, and Garfield versus Marshall.
