Melissa Faye Greene stunningly unfolds the story of the Springhill, Nova Scotia, mine disaster, a drama that seems especially hard-hitting in light of more recent mine collapses. In 1958, gases were propelled three levels upward, trapping men against the ceiling and burying them.

See, I'd been talking about building a bunker for probably five years at that point.

We need a real plan." And she'd nod, and I'd research a bit, and then life would happen and I'd put it off ...
