Subsidiary president, a key witness, testifies against ex-coal CEO boss in deadly mine blast
– canadianbusiness.com
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A key government witness is testifying in the criminal trial of his old boss, ex-Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship.
The witness is ex-Performance Coal President Christopher Blanchard. Performance Coal was a subsidiary of Massey Energy.
Blanchard took the stand Thursday.
Blankenship is charged with conspiring to break mine safety laws and lying to financial regulators about safety at Upper Big Branch Mine, which exploded in 2010, killing 29 men.
Blanchard said many safety violations at the mine could have been prevented by hiring more miners, or putting more time toward safety tasks. He said Blankenship could have ordered those changes.
He said he thought Blankenship believed it would cost less to pay violation fines than to implement safety measures.

Would you like to travel more for less? A recent trend called travel hacking allows you to do just that. “It’s about reducing the price of trips or even travelling for free,” explains Patrick Sojka, founder of rewardscanada.ca, a Canadian site providing information on Canadian travel rewards programs. The aim is to maximize frequent flyer and hotel loyalty programs and to use co-branded credit cards to build helpful points balances so you end up paying very little for a flight or a hotel stay. “Take advantage of cards with large sign-up bonuses as well as those that waive first-year fees,” advises Sojka, whose recommendations include the BMO Rewards World Elite MasterCard and TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card.
