Did Don Blankenship kill 29 miners to make a little more profit?

Under normal conditions that would be difficult and in the corporate owned state of West Coalminia that is impossible but consider the findings of the MSHA.
MSHA officials briefed the families on its findings in a closed-door meeting, but family members who spoke with reporters later said MSHA coal administrator Kevin Strickland said the blast could have been prevented if a coal cutting machine had been properly maintained and if highly explosive coal dust had been controlled.
Maintenance is an unnecessary expense but digging out 29 dead miners is just another cost of business. I think the bean counters need to take another look at this.
