The woman had an accent. The church's plaque read "first Ukrainian catholic" if I recall. Not sure about catholic but definitely remember the Ukrainian part.
I don't buy the story either. I've talked to 2 men who once worked the mines and they claim the anthracite is so rich, the veins in and around town are easily in the hundreds of millions of dollars worth. They were just cranky old men, but their theory holds water. If you Google it it's actually a popular theory among many. Once The remaining residents die off, the state gets full rights to do whatever they want.
Methinks a conspiracy is afoot!
The speed of sound through the ground is about 6.0 km/s while the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. A very powerful explosion occurs some distance away and you feel the ground vibrate 60 seconds before you hear the sound of the explosion.

Triangulating sound sources is not rocket science. Why have they not set up a bunch of directional monitoring stations?
All it takes is for the same sound to be registered on 3 devices, a little math, and you can get a decent estimate of the source. Who the hell is running this investigation?

The explosions are heard in different areas. It's not the same location all the time. This makes them harder to locate.
Also, the fact that seismology does not seem to detect them is perplexing.
I find that very interesting, but why all of a sudden, since that quartz laden rock has been there for a long, long time?
