Owner of the Crandall Canyon Utah coal mine Bob Murray:

“Had I known that this evil mountain, this alive mountain, would do what it did, I would never have sent the miners in here,” he said. “I’ll never go near that mountain again. It’s alive and it’s evil.”

This from the man who racked up safety violations like Paris Hilton collects STDs, and originally tried to blame the whole thing on an earthquake (in Utah) rather than the dangerously greedy practice of “retreat mining.”
