美国四月矿难赔偿数额曝光：每人300万美元+5年工资+亲属保险+子女大学学费
天朝矿工哭了。
房价，油价接轨了，这个能考虑接轨不？
真是应了一句老话，死也要死在美国。
同样矿难，中国工人得命是20万，美国人的命就是几百万。
这还是不考虑汇率因素的情况下。就这20万还是两年前刚涨上去的吧，以前我记得只两
三万块。
大约总赔偿是年收入的60倍左右。
如果中国死矿工也能赔六十倍，那根本不会死那么多人。
去年死两千个人。60倍，按年收入两万算。得赔24亿
如果按爱国人士说的矿工都很高工资，按四万来算。两千人得赔48亿

Thursday April 29, 2010
Massey Energy is offering $3 million to each of the families of 29 men killed in an explosion at its Upper Big Branch coal mine in West Virginia, the daughter of one of the victims said Thursday.

The offer came a week earlier when Massey officials visited the family, said Michelle McKinney, daughter of Benny Ray Willingham. McKinney said other
families have received the same offer.

Massey did not immediately respond to the Associated Press, but told the
Daily Mail, "The company won't be making public comments about confidential
conversations with the families."

The widow of William Griffith has already filed a wrongful death lawsuit,
while the mother of Adam Morgan has won a court order preserving relevant
records and potential evidence from the disaster. The April 5 explosion -
the nation's worst coal mining disaster in 40 years - also has prompted
legal action by several current and former shareholders.

McKinney isn't interested in settling.

"Nope," she said. "My dad didn't have a price tag on him. Don Blankenship
don't have enough money to pay me."

Massey CEO Blankenship is among the highest paid executives in the coal  industry. McKinney said she would like to take every penny he has.

"Maybe it'll save somebody else's life," she said.

On Monday, Richmond, Va.-based Massey laid out a financial package that it
said would free the families from ever worrying about money.

Among other things, Massey said families would receive five times the miner'
s annual pay as life insurance benefits and an additional payment to
surviving spouses. The offer also would include health coverage both for
surviving spouses and dependent children, and four years' worth of college
or vocational education at any accredited school in West Virginia for those
children.

Board member Robert Foglesong said accepting those benefits would not
prevent a family from pursuing any legal claims.

Federal and state investigators suspect the explosion was caused by a
combination of methane gas and combustible coal dust. Toxic gases have kept
them from entering the mine. Officials say tests showing the presence of
acetylene and ethylene, gases not normally found in an underground work
environment, suggest a fire may be burning somewhere.
