About this listen

Tonight’s episode features Ronnie Mann, who was working at McClure No. 1 on the day of the explosion — a day that would change his life forever. Just days earlier, Ronnie had moved to a day-shift locomotive operator position. On June 21, 1983, he completed his shift, went home, ate supper with his family, and prepared for bed — only to receive a late-night phone call telling him the mine was being evacuated. The job Ronnie had recently left was now held by Mary Kathleen “Cat” Counts, who was killed in the explosion. Friends Ronnie had worked beside were still underground. As the night unfolded, he realized how narrowly his life had been spared — and how deeply the loss would stay with him. This episode is about timing, faith, survival, and the weight carried by those who walked away when others did not.
