Fewer than 5 miners have died nationwide this year, and most of those from small wildcat or family owned mines. MSHA is more proactive and rigorous in it's safety enforcement than even OSHA. I know this because I went through the MSHA safety program this year, and got to observe mine safety in several sites for a long contract this Summer. Since the 1800's, I hope the locations you visited have re-established their biomes. Modern mining methods are very different, and much safer.
