This is looking in very good order, minimal nitpicks.

Lead
 * but the true death toll may be higher.: could be me, but "true" seems to imply that the authorities were lying. Perhaps "actual" may be a better term to use?
 * Done.

Background
 * The first sentence of the 3rd paragraph is quite long with several commas, suggest breaking it up.
 * Split and slightly revised.

Explosions
 * At about 9:30 a.m. on May 27, 1925 the...: comma after 1925 I think?
 * Done.

Response and effects
 * It arrived in Raleigh the following day.: where is Raleigh relative to the mine site, link if possible too?
 * Working on this. The car apparently made it all the way to Coal Glen (news article), and once I find a source discussing its arrival there there will be little need to mention its stop in Raleigh.
 * Resolved, the car came to Coal Glen on May 28.

Legacy
 * Doing the source checks, ref 27 says there were a couple of fatalities after the mine reopened and ref 28 says 14; is this worth mentioning?

Sources
 * The print sources appear to be reputable publishers, and the journal ref is associated with a university
 * Did a spotcheck on refs 1, 24, 27 and 28, and these look fine

Other stuff
 * Image tags OK
 * No dupe links

That's it for me. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 09:40, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Indy Beetle, just checking in on the progress of this. It is my understanding you are still working on this? Cheers, Zawed (talk) 10:48, 4 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry yes I'll get on it, these past few days have been busier than I anticipated. -Indy beetle (talk) 09:44, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries, I appreciate that my chase up was somewhat ironic given the length of time it took for me to review the article to begin with! Zawed (talk) 10:31, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Looks good, passing as GA as I believe this meets the necessary criteria. Zawed (talk) 10:20, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
