Massey, ICG cited in recent mine deaths
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Eighteen-year-old Adam Lanham had been working at International Coal Group's Sentinel Mine in Barbour County for 33 days. The Mill Creek native was barely a year out of Tygart Valley High School.
Lanham was an apprentice miner, or "red hat." Mine managers were supposed to be closely supervising him.
But on May 30, Lanham was killed when he was run over by a scoop that was driven by the foreman who was supposed to be doing the supervising. Another experienced miner in the area was also otherwise occupied, running a grader.
