The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is conducting its own investigation into Blanton’s death, which will take at least six months to complete. The death was ruled an “accident” after a joint investigation by the corporation and International Association of Machinists (IAM) Local 1943. The company issued a mealy-mouthed statement of sympathy to the press. Cleveland-Cliffs acquired the mills as part of its acquisition of AK Steel in 2020, the same year the company acquired ArcelorMittal USA to become North America’s largest producer of raw steel.īlanton died of head trauma while he was performing routine maintenance, according to the Butler County Coroner’s Office. On July 26, two days before the young worker was injured, 46-year-old Wessley Blanton was killed at Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown Works in Middletown, Ohio while working in the hot strip mill. Neither Local, District or International Facebook pages or websites even mentioned the accident. Neither Millsap nor USW Local 1010 officials made any public comments expressing sympathy with the injured worker or his coworkers who witnessed the traumatic event. The age and identity of the worker are being kept from the press, with Cleveland-Cliffs spokesperson Patricia Persico citing a company “standard privacy protocol.” The Times reported that the injured worker was a recent high school graduate. ^ Decoymusic.Molten steel being poured at the Indiana Harbor Mill (Source: ArcelorMittal).^ Guns N Roses - My Michelle w/Sebastian Bach (Download 2006) on YouTube.^ An Interview With The Gunners, Hit Parader - March 1988 retrieved January 3, 2008, from "Meaning Behind Songs - N.i.r."

Members of the DEP now admit in interviews that the album was terribly recorded, but they were happy with their song.

According to Axl Rose, he and Young were in a car together when " Your Song" by Elton John came on the radio and Young 'happened' to mention that she had always wanted someone to write a song about her. Slash knew Young throughout junior high, as she was a friend of Slash's first girlfriend. The song is about a friend of the band, a girl named Michelle Young who is thanked in the Appetite For Destruction cover sleeve. However, for this song, he swapped to a 1960s Gibson SG because he felt it had a darker sound. For the rest of the album, he used a Gibson Les Paul copy through a modified Marshall amplifier on the same settings for each song. For the recording of this song, guitarist Slash used a slightly different setup.
