The same could be said about that coal mine disaster in WV recently.

My agency is deeply involved in the response to this disaster, providing everything from tidal and weather forecasts, to satellite imagery, to mitigation and damage assessments. Our Office of Response and Restoration has a special website here with loads of info on this.
