Meeting minutes reveal that mine owners knew of structural problems at Utah mine
Meeting minutes show that owners of the Crandall Canyon mine in Utah, where nine people killed after a collapse, had been dealing with structural problems at the mine months before the disaster, according to a Salt Lake Tribune story. The paper had received the public records after submitting a freedom of information request, exposing the extent of misinformation provided by the mining company. Previously they had said the collapse was caused by an earthquake, which experts doubted. Mine owners are now declining to comment. Public records speak for themselves.
