With sympathy
August 8, 2011 By: Pit & Quarry StaffThe Pit & Quarry staff was sad to hear about the passing of Jason Gudat, a 31-year-old driller at East Fairfield Coal Co.'s Subtropolis Mine in Petersburg, Ohio. While we mourn every lost life in the mining industry, news of Gudat's death, resulting when a slab of roof in the underground limestone mine struck him, hit particularly close to home. The mine is located about 85 miles southeast of our Cleveland headquarters, and the staff had visited the site and met company officials in recent years. MSHA released a full report of the accident investigation, and it was difficult to read. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gudat's family. – Brian Richesson
