  • 1. Hurricane Creek Mine Disaster Memorial Hyden
    The Hurricane Creek mine disaster occurred on December 30, 1970, shortly after noon, and resulted in the deaths of 38 men. As was often pointed out in coverage of the disaster, it occurred a year to the day after the passage of the Coal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1969. Recovery was complicated by the fact that a foot of snow fell on the rural mountain roads at the time of the accident.It was the most deadly mine disaster in the United States since the Farmington Mine disaster in 1968, and is the subject of Tom T. Hall's song, Trip to Hyden. Another song about the disaster, The Hyden Miners' Tragedy, by J.D. Jarvis, was issued as a 45 RPM on the independent Sunrise label .
