December 9, 1914
This mixed media relief is based on the Diamond Mine disaster in Scranton on December 9, 1914. The elevator that carried miners up and down the Tripp Shaft had a rotten floor and that day the floor collapsed with 13 miners on board. Only one survived. It is considered one of the worst disasters in Scranton's long mining history.
