Think about this. To get coal you have to go deep in the earth to dig out the coal. Mines have gasses and they can cave in if the support structure isn't correct. Sometimes the gasses build up and act like a bomb explosions happen trapping and killing miners. It is a dirty tough job that also has health problems because of the coal dust in the lungs.
