True, but the fact that we have not been able to put out
Centralia after 43 years shows the problem faced.
I never understood why they just didn't put in a pipleline and flood the damn thing. While there would be a water pollution issue, that at least is easier to contain than airborne pollutants.

Claude Downing of the Office of Surface Mining will never forget the cemetery in Centralia when he visited it in the early 1980’s. “It was more eerie than anything else,” he said. He went on to describe it, “Flames were shooting out from above the tombstones in the cemetery. I was not prepared for that. This was an image that you just don’t forget.” All but 30 of the 500 houses and businesses across this once beautiful town have been wiped away. Between 1984 the U.S. Congress decided to spend 42 million dollars for the voluntary acquisition and relocation of impacted residents and businesses.
