Disaster at Cane Creek


Book Description

An epic story of courage, survival, and tragedy, the Disaster at Cane Creek is the account of the devastating potash mine explosion that occurred August 27, 1963, only hours after a miraculous Sheppton mine rescue in Pennsylvania. Twenty-five miners working the afternoon shift were now caught in a horrific explosion at Texas Gulf Sulphur's new Cane Creek Potash Mine. Located in the scenic red rock canyon country just west of Moab, Utah along the banks of the Colorado River, the mine site quickly became the scene of an intense mine rescue operation. With no knowledge of any survivors, the race against time was set in full motion as expert mine rescue teams battled to overcome smoke, gases, and groundwater pouring down the mine shaft which was as deep as two Empire State Buildings stacked on top of each other. Disaster at Cane Creek is thoroughly spellbinding as it shares history's stage during the iconic 1960's with other relevant back and side stories during the Kennedy Administration. Author Kymberly Mele masterfully weaves together this powerful drama, putting the reader on the scene of this true-life story as events unfold. She conveys the essence of the people involved, communicates what they endured, and captures the sheer will, determination and fight for survival that is both riveting and inspirational.
