Dropping Go Pro Down A Deep Mystery Pipe

Our 125 foot/40m long rope just barely reached the bottom when it opened up.
we think it leads into an abandoned mine

I love it when people who upload get straight to the point. No ads, sponsors, or 3 minutes of talking nonsense.

*the fact that there are less spiders in that tunnel than there are in my house concerns me.*

Gopro hits the bottom: *gets picked up* "HEY! It's Vsauce, Michael here. You're probably wondering why I'm in a underground cave 130 feet below the surface."

That one last chip of Pringles be like:

He's lucky there's no lava down there. Never dig straight down kids

When I was younger I used to work on a core drilling rig, doing samples for mineral exploration. Occasionally while drilling properties that had been mined in the past we would hit old-timer shafts, mine shafts from way back that were never mapped properly, you never knew when you would hit one. It would usually be the end of that particular drill hole, once we were able to get the hole started again, but was really hard to do with all that drill steel wobbling around at the bottom of the shaft.
This could be an old shaft, or a natural cave hard to tell. Judging from the roundness of the rocks I saw at the bottom, I initially would lean towards natural, but they could have easily been rocks tossed down from the surface years ago. Without seeing the area away from directly under the bore hole, I can't say for sure. The object at the bottom, resembles something we used to call an overshot and was used to recover the core tube from the core barrel.
If this area is in an area that was mined in the past, that's my best guess on what happened. Ordinarily after samples are taken and the drill hole is shut down, a plug would be rammed down the hole and it would be cemented in to prevent surface water from contaminating the ground water in the area.

This spinning camera technique could be used super effectively in a horror film. Characters do something similar to find out what's down there-- just before the spinning camera is pulled back up into the pipe, we see something terrifying enter frame for a second-- but since the frame is spinning, we can't grasp what we saw and then it's gone. Maybe only the sounds it makes chase us up the pipe...

Its weird to think about all the hidden places in the world like this that have probably never seen light. Like, all life could disappear tomorrow and these places would stay for probably millions of years in the exact same state as shown in the video.

Looks like a ventilation shaft for a mine, there's probably a mine entrance nearby.

Insects and critters down there : There was this heavenly light, it came down from the sky.

The guys on Oak island would have taken 5 years and spent 10 million dollars to do what you just did with a rope and a gopro.

[ButWhatIfItIs]

So glad YT has started recommending interesting and unique content like this to satisfy trivial curoisities instead of self important, vile and unlikeable political commentators and influencers who think they're somebodies.

Look forward to perusing your channel a bit more 👍🏻

The cave sounds are surprisingly calming for something that terrifying

[ИванДовгорук-то]

I like how captions say "so" every now and then. Like the monsters inside the cave are waiting for the gopro's next move and nudge it a little)

[tommo]

This made my skin crawl, it's like something out of a horror movie. Then the fact it descends into an unknown space with those ambient sounds really put me on edge jesus

[Gatorboy]

When they were pulling the camera back up I think I started seeing things. Like at 7:32 Why did it suddenly turn into a pillar with a hole in the top?

[presidenthaltmann]

15 seconds after dropping it in the hole: "Woah dude, that drops far."

2 minutes later: *still going...*

[kamisama]

_Gopro descends slowly_
Aliens at the underground base: *heavy breathing*

[nxymm]

Imagine how creepy it would be to see someone stuck in there

[Chiptendo]

The cave sounds helped me calm down, but when it was picked up by sans from undertale gave me a heart attack.
