The Coal Glen Mine Disaster was the worst industrial accident in North Carolina history. Though more recent North Carolina incidents such as the flash fire at the Imperial Food Products Plant in Hamlet on Septmber 3, 1991, which killed 25, are more in the public consciousness, the Coal Glen Disaster killed 53 men, made 38 women widows, left 79 children fatherless, made Farmville a ghost town, and virtually put an end to coal mining in North Carolina.
