NAOMA, W.Va. b Actress Darryl Hannah, NASA scientist James Hansen
and other mountaintop removal mining opponents have been arrested
during a protest in southern West Virginia.
State Police arrested Hannah, Hansen, former Rep. Ken Hechler and
27 other protesters Tuesday after they blocked State Route 3 near
a Massey Energy subsidiary's coal processing plant in Boone County.
They were among several hundred protesters who rallied outside an
elementary school near the plant's coal storage silo.
After the rally, the crowd marched quietly to the plant and attempted
to enter the property. They were blocked by several hundred coal
miners chanting "Massey." Protesters then sat on the road and were
arrested on misdemeanor charges of obstruction and
