- Methane ignition
- Production over safety
- Workers were intimidates to tell officials what was really going on
- Many violations of laws
- Mining industries failed to conduct inspectors
How were families in the United States compensated for the deaths of their family members?
- Each family was paid 1.5 million dollars
- They were told that the safety of these mines would improve.
How does the compensation of the United States families compare to the compensation of Chinese families?
- Each family was paid 10,000 yuan for the expenses of the funeral
- Each family was then paid 660,000 yaun
Speculate about why miner safety conditions are so much worse in China:
- No one cares
- The government is run by a dictator and the dictator does not care
- Everyone is afraid to go against the beliefs of the dictator
