Retired deep miner from mines in Somerset and Cambria County, Pa.. Never heard about this tragedy and this is so close to home. So so many gave their lives for coal. Thanks for this video and the step back in time.
This is the most honorable tribute for the most honorable men, women and children that made this country what it is today. Thamk You and may God bless you.
Great video! Wondering how I can help preserve the memory of these hard working people. My Mom and Dad both worked in the coal mines when I was a child and they worked very hard to earn their pay. I live pretty close to the Darr Mine area. I think I will go visit the site soon.
Reminds me of what happened here in the Beehive State Willburg Mine Fire Emery county in the Central Utah Dec 1984 25 men died due to a compressor left on my wife’s lds church ward in castle Dale Utah in was affected lost half of their membership
I have traced my linage back to the the founding of thus country. If not for my people coming to Texas during Texas independence this very well could have been my family. Theres justvsomethkinf so special about men who go under ground to make theie living.

Found this video by accident. Amazing how important this was to so many people. I’m glad the history is still alive.
Thank you to all who work to keep history alive!

I love walking the trail by there, cool to know so much more about the story, than just knowing it was a mine explosion, Rest In Peace
What a beautiful story,thank you and god bless.
Thanks for making this documentary. Rather somber bike riding through the area knowing how many lives were lost 😞
My great aunts were darrs raised in McKeesport 74 yrs now I just found this
RIP Brothers.
Watching this and realizing the date is 12/19. Chills going down my spine. God bless these miners and their families always ❤❤
The hole has now been filled in even more completely. I guess the documentary gave it more publicity.
There are other ways in. ;)
@@Autistic_Cowboy I suppose you aren't able to reveal those ways on here?
I grew Up in PA. I had no clue that it had this much history...... WOW

Used to live right by there. Fished right next to it. So sad
My great great great grandfather Mike Migo died in the Darr Mine Disaster.
Great video, Thanks for sharing.
2:40 There is an interesting object just to the right of her. It looks vaguely familiar.
My paternal grandmother's first husband died in a Fayette County, PA. coal mine. He was run over by a coal car.
I live in Rostraver and never knew this. Unreal!

239 men would just about have to be the worst mining disaster ever anywhere. I wonder if any have been worse anywhere.
coal companies have always been cavalier...and still are its about $$ nothing else
