Many of you have wheeled that area of Colorado. Got word from friends of ours that the Revenue Virginius Mine in the heart of Yankee Boy Basin has an accident Sunday morning that ended up taking a few lives. Prayers go out to that community.

That's terrible. What kind of accident?

Not quite sure. Not a cave-in. Some sort of gaseous expansion from what I've been told so far. Probably not the right term.
