If you haven’t already found this information, the coal mine in Grundy was called the Red Jacket Mine, which might yield more research results rather than typing in Grundy mine disaster.

This website contains some historical information about mining in Virginia in the 1930s and has some pictures of early coal mines from the era: []

This link contains newspaper accounts from the Buchanan County Public Library: [] You can also research the area (Buchanan County ) for historical records and pictures.

I can't find anything on materials. I did find this website on environmental effects, but they don't specifically pertain to this disaster. [] [] Emily

I found this example of a coal dust explosion. Obviously it's a lot smaller and in a controlled environment, but from what I've read, the smoke and flames are similar to those inside the mine. Except on a smaller scale. Kilee

I found this picture of the type of mining that was done at the Grundy Mine. Could be used in our presentation. -Kilee
