  1. Illinois has been rotten to the core from its inception. Even great fires cannot burn hot enough to burn out the corruption in the hearts of Springfield politicians & the cabals in Chicago who manage them.

  2. If I had a nickel for every town called Centralia which had a mine disaster… I'd have two nickels. But it's still weird that it happened twice.

    If you live in a town called Centralia, there's probably a mine. Don't work in that Centralia's mine, and in fact, don't live in the town, because bad things come in threes and I'm only aware of two of these… so far.

    Side note: Good reminder that I need to visit Centralia, PA. Been meaning to for years.

  3. Thank you for letting us all remember them. May we learn their stories so as to learn from their plight – so that we may never let this happen again. We never know where we are going unless we know where we've already been.

  4. Don't forget Scotia. 15 miners and 11 engineers with investigators died in 2 explosions. Coal companies big and small like
    Pyro, and Wildcats never cared about miners or the UMW.
