Transcription

Mining disaster

Layland was the site of a deadly mining explosion on March 2, 1915 in which 112 men were killed either by immediate impact or gas-induced suffocation. In the days following, approximately 53 survivors emerged from the mine after creating barricades to shield from the deadly gas.[4][5] A memorial was established in 2014 to honor the victims and survivors.[6]
