[NOTE: Please excuse Big John's minor audio issues] We tell the tragic story of the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster and shed light on the wretched Don Blankenship, the man who should have been held more accountable for it. Big John and Chuck also pay tribute to the 29 miners who lost their lives on that tragic day 10 years ago.
