people forget we have these regulations because of these disasters. Corporations dont give a shit and will do whatever is cheapest.

I am from this area, still live there actually. My mother was 10 years old when this happened. And my papaw had a chicken farm and a small grocery store. . He delivered eggs and food to the people after the flood. Just so they could have something to eat.

Also, do you know what the families of the people who died received from the coal company for their deaths? $500.00 per person 😕🙄🤬

As somebody FROM the town this happened, we are still affected by this. People alive for it have PTSD when it rains. And the victims never got justice.

Look into the school bus accident of Prestonsburg Ky feb 28, 1958. It was one of the worst bus accidents on record. Our city still doesn’t run buses when it rains to this day bc of that day. Tragic.

They could have saved a lot more people. The VP met with the residents and told them everything was ok and they could go home- right before it failed. A lot of the people who believed him died.

You should do the 1977 Kelley Barnes Dam failure (Toccoa, GA).

Off topic: I really need to know more about the lore behind your shirts. Sure you’re an EKU grad (go colonels, my parents met there!), but I’ve seen IU (boo), Florida, and now a Texas shirt.

Ive lived my entire life in wv very close to Buffalo creek. you did a very good job of explaining the disaster to those that never knew. I've been to where those dams originally were many times working natural gas wells
