We are in the heart of America. That’s clear. The people work with their hands. They eat dinner with their families. The townspeople grieve together. This is a town that cares.
Like in most coal mining towns, the people here in Buckhannon are close. You've probably heard the townspeople saying, "We’re family here." That's not just talk. They are. Almost everyone we have interviewed either knows a miner who died or knows someone who does.
When the cameras aren't rolling, residents talk about what hurts them the most. Yes, they mention those brutal hours when word spread that the miners were safe. But you might be surprised to know how much they dwell on the way these miners died – in the dark, in the dust and in the cold. Buckhannon is a town of miners. They know what’s inside those black tunnels. And they’re having a hard time absorbing the way these miners' lives ended.
This is a town that talks little, but feels a great deal. Right now, they’re feeling pain – in all its rawness. It will take a long time until that pain dulls. So most of the people we've interviewed describe that pain -- not with fancy words, not with self-help explanations, but with simple language. And understandably so. These are simple, genuine people. They hurt. They are in pain. That’s about all there is to it. They just lost 12 of their own.

First impressions
These people are the heart and soul of America. They continue to represent and hold the core values that once made us great. Why then are they the forgotten ones? The have one of the most dangerous professions yet safety violations don't seem to be worth the paper they are printed on. Regulations do not work if they are not enforced.
