Federal officials say a surprise inspection has uncovered major safety violations that could have caused an explosion at another Massey Energy coal mine in West Virginia. The Mine Safety and Health Administration says Massey illegally cut too deeply into the coal seem and skipped mandatory tests at its Seng Creek Powellton Mine. Massey sites have come under increased scrutiny since twenty-nine workers were killed in an explosion at its Upper Big Branch Mine in April.
