The #MonongahMiningDisaster occurred on #ThisDayInHistory in 1907, in the town of #Monongah, #WestVirginia. The mine was overloaded with workers (greed requires speed) when it exploded, killing 362 #miners. The first #FathersDay was observed the following year in tribute to them.

Mio nonno Luca Di Mario era uno di quelli che presero la vita in questo evento. Tanti italiani, tanti che li ricordano.
