Nick Helms, who waited all day for news of his father, Terry, said his father, a strapping 50-year-old, had endured numerous injuries in a 30-year career and hated mining because of the dangers, but refused to quit because the job put food on the table.
"He gave his life in there so I could go to the movies," Mr. Helms, 25, said of his father. Switching to the present tense, Mr. Helms added, "He is very selfless."
The cause of the blast remained a mystery. Company officials said that the mine did not have a history of methane gas problems and that air testing conducted before the explosion found no evidence of methane, a highly combustible gas.
Federal inspectors fined the Sago mine more than $24,000 for roughly 202 violations in 2005, according to federal records.
The total monetary figure is likely to rise substantially because the federal mine-safety agency has yet to put a dollar figure on some citations.
The most serious of these citations are 16 "unwarrantable failure orders," which are problems that an operator knows exist but fails to correct.
Thirteen of these orders were issued in the past six months, federal records show.
