(2) I received a guestbook entry from Rocky that my 10 worst list is missing the Cherry Mine fire on 11/13/1909 where 259 were killed. He included a link to the U. S. Mine Rescue Association. I surmise that it was not included in the book because the fire was not initiated by an explosion. Thanks to Rocky for this information.
