This is the story of the coal mine disaster that happened on May 9, 1992, in Pictou County, Nova Scotia. The miners knew a tragedy was going to occur; they just did not realize when it would happen.

Comish, the author, was involved with the attempted rescue of the 26 men trapped in the mine.
The National Film Board was the recipient of a 2002 Genie for the best documentary, Westray.
