The Mine Safety and Health Administration released an internal review Thursday about how poorly it enforced safety regulations at the Sago, Aracoma, and Darby mines. Deadly disasters at all three killed 19 miners last year. MSHA’s report criticizes its local inspectors and supervisors, saying they lacked the proper attitude to enforce safety rules.
