severe. Ground failures helped trigger recent mine disasters in Alabama (2001) and Utah (2000) by disrupting ventilation that led to gas explosions. Together, these incidents claimed the lives of 15 coal miners. In 2006, 10 underground coal miners lost their lives in 7 roof falls, 2 rib rolls, and 1 coal mine bump.
