Jeff Biggers: 94-Year-Old Hechler, Daryl Hannah, Hansen Arrested: Live at Coal River
UPDATE: 2:30 EST: 94-year-old Ken Hechler, the legendary West Virginia congressman and coal miner hero who has been battling mountaintop removal since 1971 was arrested in a non-violent protest with NASA's celebrated climate scientist James Hansen, actress Daryl Hannah, Michael Brune, the executive director of Rainforest Action Network, and Goldman Prize winner Judy Bonds. Vietnam veteran Bo Webb, and dozens of other coalfield residents were arrested by crossing onto the property of leading mountaintop removal coal mining company, Massey Energy--purposely trespassing to protest the destruction of mountains immediately above the Coal River Valley community.

1. Darryl Hannah is fucking HOT!
I didn't particularly care for her role in Kill Bill, but she was a knockout in Roxanne!

2. I've done work (archaeology) in that area............
The whole place is trashed by mountaintop removal. Seems like the coal folks forget about Buffalo Creek pretty quickly.
