That man found the key to happiness. Perspective is everything.

I am an underground coal mine electrician. I have been an electrician for 15 years. I have been underground since 2002. Why do I do it? 5 reasons my wife and our four children. Doing this job(career) for more than half my life is my only option to provide my family with the best possible life I can. My father worked in the mining industry for 43 years some of my best memories are working with him. His father was a coal miner as his father before him. I didn't go to school to get some flashy degree that costs me more than I make in 5 years. Some times at work I look up at the top (Mine roof) and I see fossils which is pretty awesome. I work for an amazing company but I work for my family. It takes a rare breed to be an underground coal miner. Thanks for giving coal miners credit.

She wasn’t talking to a miner, she was talking with Jules Verne. That quote is poetry

My daddy worked 38 years in a coal mines, in some of those mines the coal was 18 inches tall, he crawled on his belly. He also worked in a shaft mines 3 miles underground. They took an elevator, it was like an underground city. My daddy was an electrician. He passed away from Black Lung,

That is the brightest silver lining I've ever heard. It may have started for tradition and to pay bills but this perspective is what truly drives him. Kudos

My Daddy was a Deep Miner ran the continuous miner for many years. Suffered black lung and worked extremely hard for his family. I wish he was still alive to show him this video. Thank you for appreciating someone who puts there life on the line to make a decent living for their family.

I've never looked at mining that way before. I didn't think I could gain an even greater respect, not just for the people who do it, but for the field itself. Yet here I am. I am genuinely amazed.

I was a roof bolter for years just over a decade every time I went into a new cut to put up roof bolts. I would touch the top that way I knew I was the first human being to ever touch it. You have to find little ways of brighten your day when you’re in so much darkness.

I worked for a US Steel coal mine in Thorpe WV for seven years. It was hard some days but it was rewarding in many ways. As a poor young man, I made good money that I used to go to college….that mine taught me many valuable lessons!

A genie granted me one wish and I said, “I just want to be happy.” Now I live in a cottage with 6 dwarves and work in a mine.

My life is the forest and the mountains. I could not do what these men are doing every day. Kudos to the hard working men, all over the world!

Actually a pretty cool perspective I never thought of, still no way I’d ever do it so mad props to him and all the other miners.

I have related the same idea to people about rockhounding under ground for minerals. I gat to see things no one has ever seen before and then bring them out to share with others. It is an amazing feeling.

Ex Montana mine rescue member here. An American #1 shaftsman foreman, I was blasting a shaft raisebore in Nevada for Newmont mining. When you are a mile deep under the Nevada desert it's 100° 100 ft below surface 50° the deeper you dig the hotter it gets, true facts.

Coalminers are a very different breed. My wife's father was a miner.

My dad died of black lung in a budget FL retirement community. No health insurance, no pension, no family. As coal took everything from him - his savings, his health, his mind, his family - he just kept giving more of himself to an industry that wasn't satisfied with anything other than his life.

So proud that you met a guy.

My heritage through my mother has been in the coalfields of Southern West Virginia since the Revolution. My grandfather (6'4") was a coalminer.
