Warning signs ignored during Giant strike: expert CBC North
YELLOWKNIFE - A mine safety expert has told the Giant mine civil trial the deaths of nine miners during a strike at the Yellowknife gold mine in 1992 could have been prevented.
Security precuations should have increased as vandalism and violence grew over the strike, says Plummer. Ian Plummer testified that the men's deaths might not have happened if the mine's managers and government safety officials had taken more action as vandalism escalated.
