14:26 - Anyone know what's happening to Whatt? Just heard on DHS EM1 that they are en route to a scene with one fatality and urban search and rescue are coming from Morgantown.

14:49 - Urban search and rescue are on a plane and on their way to Wyatt.

14:50 - I think a Fire Marshall asked it was an industrial or a mine. The other responded that all he knew is it was a slurry pond.

Anyone in this area have a stream up?

The only mine I found for Wyatt WV is Consolidation Coal Co. This might be the area:

Audio so far:

From what I've heard, one person removed from the slurry pond and transported to hospital. The fatality is still stuck and another victim is stuck up to his chest.

Here, there and everywhere in WV
Wyatt Trouble

Wyatt is located just outside of Shinnston/Lumberport, Harrison County WV, There are deep mines located there. Such as Robinson Run or Consolidated Coal company mines. These mines feed Coal to power the burners Harrison Power Plant (aka Allegeny/Mongahalia Electric Power Co.) located about 3 miles away as the crow flies.....LOL I was not listening to the trouble..Try WDTV.com as well as WBOY.com for details. Both are the Clarksburg/Bridgeport news channels for north central WV.

End of transmission.......LMAO

Not sure what was so funny about what happened, but maybe I missed something you didn't. I did update the post with a news article from WBOY.
