    CHARLESTON, W.Va. - An explosion at an underground West Virginia coal mine on Monday killed at least six people and left 21 unaccounted for, the state mining director said.
    Ron Wooten said the blast was first reported around 3 p.m. at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch mine in Raleigh County, about 30 miles south of Charleston. The mine is operated by subsidiary Performance Coal Co.
    The company did not provide details on the extent of the damage.

    Hate to hear these mine disasters.
