The death of 29 men in Massey Energy Co.s Upper Big Branch coal mine was not an unforeseeable act of God as company officials had claimed, according to a state report released Thursday. The first of several reports on the disaster concludes a cascading series of explosions on April 5, 2010 was the result of failure after failure by state and federal regulators and, most of all, by the hubris and profoundly reckless manner of Massey itself.
