speaks out for
"Stay Out - Stay Alive" campaign






Audio Script 1

Hi, I�m Thomas Jones, running back for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Both of my parents were coal miners. When I was young I was taught that old mines and quarries were DEATH TRAPS.

Dozens of people die in old mines and abandoned quarries every year.

Underground mines have shafts as deep as skyscrapers and they can collapse at the slightest disturbance.

Water filled quarries are dangerously deep and cold.

Old surface mines have cliffs and steep ledges that are constantly changing.

Take the advice of this coal miner's son. STAY OUT, STAY ALIVE.
