Info

The Twilight surface mine looms above what was once the quiet, close-knit community of Lindytown. In order to expand operations, Massey Energy (now owned by Alpha Natural resources) pressured the community members to sell their homes and leave with the agreement that they wouldn't talk about the deal and that they would never return. Countless communities in Appalachia have been destroyed in this manner.
