Talk:Barroterán coal mine disaster

Possible sources
I don't have access to full copies of some of these sources, so there may be more in some of them:


 * Coal Age Volume 84, 1979 - "Safety is a major consideration, especially because of the abundant methane and bad roof. In 1969, an explosion at the company's Guadalupe No.2 mine killed 153 men."
 * Múzquiz crónicas de su historia, By Homero A. Rodríguez · 1996 - "de 1969 en minas de Barroterán, 153 mineros de toda la región mueren al explotar en cadena las minas 1 y 2 lammadas de Guadalupe;"
 * EL CARBÓN ROJO DE COAHUILA:AQUÍ ACABA EL SILENCIO - (on example sentence) page 15, "Para la mayoría en México, la región carbonífera de Coahuila solamente existía en el imaginario popular porque recordaban alguna explosión en las minas, como la de Minas de Guadalupe (Barroterán, 1969), en la que murieron 153 mineros, y que fue portada de la revista Life." - claims the accident was on the cover of Life magazine, but I have been unable to verify that.
 * The Accidental Century – Prominent Energy Accidents in the Last 100 Years - lists 176 fatalities, which disagrees with other sources
 * http://herzog.economia.unam.mx/publicaciones/econinforma/pdfs/359/brucelish.pdf
 * Mexico: miners trapped after explosion 22 February 2006
 * The Lack of Other Jobs Traps Mexicans in Perilous Mines, Feb. 24, 2006, New York Times "The mines have taken their toll, with at least 115 major accidents, costing more than 1,300 lives. The largest disaster occurred in 1969, when an explosion trapped and killed 153 miners at the Barroterán Mine."
 * This week in history: March 25-31 - gives some details on the accident
 * RECUERDAN TRAGEDIA DE MINA GUADALUPE 1 April, 2018 - commemoration of accident

I will also note that I was a little worried by all the sources that just list the accident with few details that dated from some time after January 6, 2006 (date of article creation), but the 1979 and 1996 sources (and the news piece of the disaster commemoration) make me confident that this is not a case of WP:citogenesis.
