That's why I hope that the miners' families will sue the company. Money talks when nothing else does. I realize that the company doesn't have a bottomless pit of cash, but coal is big business.

Ok, suing the company is not the answer. Don't you think that the miners knew the risks they were taking by accepting that job? Should a Marine's mom, whose son gets killed in Iraq, be able to sue the Marines? Or, should the wife of a roughneck who works on an oil rig in the gulf, be able to sue the oil company if there's an explosion on the rig? These people know there are risks in their job-but they do it anyway. Some jobs cannot be made 100% safe.
