Justice For The Cooks; Last Rights For Chad Cook
Target:
Families and H&S
Sponsored by:
There are many injustices in this world and we all know life isn't fair. For some matters, there is supposed to be a system of checks and balances. We may not agree with the final outcome, but at least we know that the matter went through the established system.
The Cooks lost their only son Chad, 25, at work on November 8, 200;They have been very patient with the system. The Cooks were informed of their sons death by two coworkers but wanted to know the circumstances surrounding Chads death and contacted the police department, they were told the mine would do the investigation so there was no report with them. There was some confusion as to who should do the investigation so ultimately no one did.
In April of 2007 Ken Ward of the Charleston Gazette a investigative reporter listened to the Cook's plea, done some leg work, and found that the incident was on the mines property. Ken then wrote an article exposing the mishaps here:http://www.redorbit.com/news/business/912288/feds_state_reopen_probe_of_coal_truckers_death/index.html.
The state of West Virginia then agreed there should be an investigation. In August the Cooks receive a call from the federal agency, MSHA, stating they were still trying to decide whether to investigate the fatality.
Now, as the Cook family approaches the 2nd anniversary of their son's death they have no more insight than they did the day he died. The Cooks have been terribly let down by (MSHA) which hasn't done its statutory job investigating this fatality.
The Cooks just want justice for their child; they have the right to know what happened to their son and what his last moments were. Chad Cook should be counted and treated as a human loss. The Cooks will never begin any closer until they receive a fair and satisfactory investigation of the incident.
Give the Cooks Justice! Give Chad the rights he deserves!

My condolences to the family for the loss of their only son. Decency should prevail so closure can come regarding this accident and hopefully sound minds will insist on an investigation concerning the nature of the accident.

My the bottom of my heart - I know what it feels like not to have information pertainning to a loved one's death. So, whatever information the family needs - it should be given. The family deserves to know what really happened for proper closure to take place. God be with each of us that have felt the same way and been through the same thing. No one can ever know how it feels until they have walked in their shoes.

Who's side is MSHA on? What do they gain by delaying a report? They have to be covering for someone.

Our nephew was killed in a mine related death on July 19, 2007 in Nome Alaska and his parents are going through a similar ordeal and not getting their questions answered. He was their only child. His name is Tyler Kahle. He was 19 years old when he was killed.

The Cook's absolutely deserve an answer. This system is so unjust. I lost my father, Fred G. Ware, Jr. in the Sago Mine Accident. I give my sympathy to the Cook Family. This is so unfair and unjust. Everyone needs closure. It may not always be what we want to hear but we need that closure. We need to keep this petition going so they can get their answers.
