According to the Associated Press, the FBI is currently investigating Massey Energy for criminal negligence and its role in the death of 29 miners at the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster in Raleigh County, W.Va. Mountain Justice is calling for decision-makers of Massey Energy to be held accountable for their actions which caused the fatal disaster. Similar in sentiment, shareholders of Massey Energy have called for the immediate resignation of Don Blankenship after the Upper Big Branch disaster, calling the distaster a "tragic consequence of the board's failure to challenge Blankenship's confrontational approach to regulatory compliance.
