Famous Last Words

"And I'm going to prove it to you," uttered by Robert E. Murray, chairman of mine owner Murray Energy Corp.
"This was caused by an earthquake, not something that Murray Energy ... did or our employees did or our management did."

Seems the seismologists think the mine collapse caused the ruckus picked up by their instruments, & the mine operators are absolutely sure that an earthquake caused the collapse.
Just off the top of my head, I'm more willing to go with the scientists & their cool instruments to back up the findings than I am with a hot-headed CEO out to save profit margin. Oh yeah, & his ass... .
