NIOSH Mining VideoRecovery of Farmington #9: An Interview with Danny Kuhn |
2000 |
Some 30 years after the event, researchers from the NIOSH Pittsburgh Research Laboratory conducted a video interview with Danny Kuhn, the Farmington Number 9 mine rescue team member who was not working that night. This video is designed to acquaint mine rescue personnel with certain aspects of rescue work that are not traditionally taught - the strain caused by continual work under adverse conditions; the problem of "survivor guilt" - being spared the fate of one's deceased buddies; and the possibility that post-traumatic stress can occur during the sometimes lengthy task of body recovery. To order contact MSHA (http://www.msha.gov/Education&Training.htm, MSHAdistributioncenter@dol.gov) NIOSH Mining videos can also be found on the NIOSH Videos page. Related Documents: |
