Doug Conaway, director of the West Virginia Office of Miners' Health Safety and Training said that it took a tragedy, unfortunately, to toughen these laws and to pass them in the first place. The two missing miners were among a team of 12 who put on breathing gear and tried to escape to the surface, but only 10 made it out. Mr. Conaway also added that nine others in another part of the mine also escaped.
