- Down along Clear Fork, things aren’t so quiet anymore.
- Open the high resolution image and zoom in to take a closer look.
- The cabins belonging to the Stanley Heirs — Larry Gibson’s relatives — are no longer peaceful retreats.
- Larry Gibson’s cabin is the group furthest at right, the one in the right of the “V” in the road.
- The big shovel is in the foreground.
- A blast will soon go off, shaking the community below.
- Click on this photo to open up the high resolution version, and check out the scale of this small section of the destruction.
- The cabins are perched on an ever-diminishing green island in a sea of extreme greed and lack of understanding of humanity’s life support systems manifested as mountaintop removal / valley fill coal mining.
- Down along Clear Fork, the mountain’s demise is painful to watch. The community is devastatingly altered, the land and waters and life they support impoverished.
- Another angle, more destruction.
- What does it say about human nature that we allow this kind of destruction to go on?
- If we don’t demand an end to mountaintop removal, coal companies will inflict this carnage upon every coal-bearing, verdant, richly-forested, water-blessed, community-supporting mountain.
