Industrial Homicide, again? Patriot Coal mine kills another one, slated to be laid off.

Remember, (St. Louis-based) Patriot Coal is the Peabody spin-off that is scraping out what is left of American coal as the market for coal declines, tried to shrug off pensions, cutting corners on safety, breaking the laws on worker safety (cited for destruction of evidence, etc.), ignoring violations warnings, etc. At what point do we deem this type of business "criminal"?   Ken Ward update Dec. 17.

Updated by BG, Dec18.  I've added a question mark to the industrial homicide?  Give Patriot a chance to say it was an accident without fault.
