Massey Energy Hit With MORE Violations At Upper Big Branch Mine

Federal inspectors have yet to get underground at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine, but they've already hit the operation with another nearly two dozen citations -- all in the last two weeks.

U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration inspectors cited Massey's Performance Coal Co. subsidiary for 23 different violations in a "spot inspection" that began May 14 and remains ongoing, according to the latest entries in MSHA's online computer database.
