GUEST,Eric Armstrong Folklore: Springhill Mine Disaster (48) Folklore: Sprighill Mine Disaster 24 Oct 08


I am surprised that nobody on the forum has picked up on the fact that this week is the 50th anniversary of the Springhill Mine disaster.

Perhaps we should take a moment to reflect on the 75 miners who died
and also upon the incredible heroism of the rescue workers who brought out 100 survivors from galleries up to 13,000ft below ground.

It would be nice to think that the great Seeger/McColl Springhill song is being sung in clubs around the world in memorium

Another fine song is "Springhill" by Nova Scotia singer/songwriter
Brian Vardigans

RIP
