Imagine being the devil, minding your own business, and all of a sudden the Russians are drilling through the ceiling of your workplace...

That message at the end about not using a clickbait image: super classy, and thank you. Liked and subscribed.

"In their greed, the dwarves dug too deep and awakened an ancient evil"

'Just 9 inches in diameter it's smaller than most standard pizzas but at a depth of 1, 220, 062 metres ... it is unparalleled.'

Now that's a deep-crust pizza.

The only urban legend I've heard about the borehole was that the reason the project had to be abandoned was because the drill stem became stuck, sheared off, and was irretrievable.

"We have to keep drilling for at least a few weeks, or else people will think we stopped because we found hell."
That is by far the most metal thing I've ever heard from a scientific expedition!

"The Union has discovered hell. Our glorious freedom fighters will arrive shortly to liberate our damned comrades from the imperialism of lucifer."

Imagine accidently stepping on that Well cover in a 1000 years.

"I, as always, am your host Simon" that statement is becoming more and more literal as Simon takes over YouTube.

[RIlianP]

So Simon searched for "deep hole" on the internet, I wonder how many pages down he had to drill to bypass the porn.

[brandonjc]

"Let's just jump in."

Simon, don't—

[alekrode]

"let's just jump in"
please don't

[gssteve]

"So when are the travel restrictions going to be packs a crescent wrench, WD-40 and a bowling ball)

[luks]

back then:"yeah we need to drill for bit more so they dont start rumors"
nowdays:"they started rumors? fk lets stop it for the meme's"

[dvabow]

Sputnik was definitely a MEGA project, would love to see a video about it on this channel. Keep up the great work!

The world's deepest hole

High schoolers: "It's number 2 after your mom"

[Xion_Toshiro]

Interviewer:
So... what was it like; drilling this hole?

Technician:
A penetrating experience. Kinda boring though. But, we just dug right in.

[jimmywolfe]

I swear I could hear Simon fighting to not say "its your boi Simon!" in that intro.

[wavion]

They only made it 9" so the balrog couldn't get out.
