Description

In 1969, Congress passed a law that was supposed to eradicate black lung disease. Today, nearly 1,500 American coal miners die each year of the disease. In a year-long Courier-Journal investigation, the newspaper found that many of the deaths result from widespread fraud among coal operators, assisted by miners themselves, and poor oversight by government regulators.
