On August 29, 2015, OVEC staff member Vivian Stockman served as a guide for a pair of French journalists and a Mothers Jones magazine photographer on two separate overflights of mountaintop removal operations in southern West Virginia. Of course, the fabulous folks at SouthWings provided the flyovers, and we once again owe a deep debt of gratitude for the invaluable service SouthWings and their volunteer pilots provide.
Here are some fish-eye-lens shots of Alpha Natural Resources’ (formerly Massey Energy) Twilight mountaintop removal operation, near the now-extinct town of Lindytown in Boone County, WV. Jarrell Cemetery is the forested knoll you can spot in some of the shots. Due to mountaintop removal coal mining, the dead cannot rest in peace.
