NEARLY one year after the Crandall Canyon underground mine collapse took the lives of six miners and three rescuers in Utah, the US Mine Safety and Health Administration will release the findings of its investigation of the incident.

MSHA Crandall report to be released

According to the Associated Press, the report will be released after a briefing the agency will hold with the families of the nine who perished.

It has been speculated the report will hold new information.

The Crandall Canyon collapse occurred August 6, trapping six miners. Ten days later, an MSHA inspector and two fellow rescuers were crushed in a secondary collapse.

MSHA, as well as several other experts from the mining community, are meeting this week at the third annual International Mine Safety and Health conference in Salt Lake City. The event is organised by Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia; this is the first year it has not been held at the school’s campus.
