Be sure to watch part 2 where I explore the rest of the tunnels!

The house I use to live in was 150 years old, my grandmother told me that when they drilled into the ground for the well it was 3 feet of topsoil and 120 feet of solid rock, and below that it opened up into a underground lake that was 80 feet deep filled with water. The thought of there being an 80 foot deep lake under me at all times always blew my mind. Always wished I could have somehow explored that. Best water I've ever tasted though.

Much respect to the men who worked underground in places like that every day.

My dad, who would be 95 if he were still here, worked down there alongside his dad when he got out of the 82nd Airborne after WWII, in 1948. I grew up hearing a lot of stories.

My great-grandfather's (on my mothers side) body was brought home to his house on Main Ave in North Scranton, PA and dumped onto his front porch in 2 pieces -- he was cut completely in half at the waist after slipping and falling in front of a piece of machinery that they called a "duck-bill". Yeah...

I remember my dad telling me the story of shoveling coal on his belly once in a low seam, trying to roll over onto his back for a break and GETTING STUCK, thats how tight the space was! He thought to himself, "What the hell am i doing down here"? When I asked him what the hell WAS he doing down there, he replied, "I was making $200 per week when everybody else was making $50! The miserable conditions must have been very motivating for him though because he went on to become an Industrial Engineer. I wish i could have appreciated it when i was a young punk, but my dad must have been a BEAST when he was young -- i still dont know how they did it...

Thanks for this video, it kinda brought it all to life for me!

The amount of motivation and energy that it took to dig these mines is amazing.

[edwinsantos]

Brave men. I'm glad I can sit at home and see what you see. Thanks for bringing us along. Be careful out there

[charliechristie]

I am a "mechanical guy", but, seeing the unreal amount of work it took to dig this series of shafts and install those massive electric motors (and me to my knees !!...I am humbled.

Kind Thanks for taking us into this mine! I lived in Kentucky for a while years back and often saw the miners on their way home. You could hardly see anything of them except their eyes. Going down into the Earth every day and risking their lives, as some mines didn’t have the structures you show us here. I talked to quite a few retired miners, black lung some of them and always aware that they may not be going home again this day. They all had buddies who were still buried down deep. But the drive to support their families was strong and true. Thanks again and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

You should get a gas alarm. The air in these mines can be fatal, and you might not know there's a problem until it's too late. Stay safe

I spent about six months working a hydroelectric tunnel 11, 000 ft up in Yosemite National Park! They have the entire generation deck inside the mountain. I wandered around when nobody was there but I was afraid I would get lost if I went further!! Real cool guys, thanks a lot!

[kennethzullick]

Dude, I went down into mines like this when I was a kid. That was 55 years ago. They only got worse by now. I don"t think it should ever be attempted now. Deathtrap. Love your videos.

[brannancloward]

Many mine explorers won't touch coal mines, so thanks for the access into these places! You are the real man!

[amaan-the-analyst]

This is some real hard work by hundreds of men that must've been built decades ago. It was a pleasure to see this gigantic place still standing. Thanks a lot man for taking the time to show us this beauty.

[Rlaplante]

This is INSANE...I can't begin to imagine the countless man hours involved to pull off this maze of tunnels, steel, etc.

[lindastuart]

Elevator to the bottom? Amazing! You go big guy. This 71 year old is amazed by all of this. I have been to the salt mines in Germany. If I thought about it, I would have a panic attack. In a boat you can touch the ceiling which was salt. Truly a wonder, just like that. Be safe 🙏❤🦋

I'm in S.W. Indiana and this area was heavily undermined from the mid 1800's to the 1960's. As a kid there were tipples all over the area. Their all gone now but I've always wondered what those shafts would look like now. We actually don't like thinking about the open areas under our feet because periodically the ground will collapse taking whatever is above with it. That's not unusual. Most homeowners have subsidence insurance but due to poor record keeping and operators illegally mining under peoples property without permission you never can tell what's under your house. My parents house plus other houses in their neighborhood, when the houses were built, would drill down until they hit a shaft, run pipe down the hole and use the shaft as an area to drain sewage to.

Grandfather, 3 great uncles and my father worked the mines at Huber Colliery at Ashley, Pa. Grandfather and 3great uncles died from black lung. My father was in a mine subsidence a had a broken hip, with that he left the mines and went into the Navy. His ship was blown up by a mine, he was rescued and 1/3 of his body was burned, recovered in Ireland for almost a year. Life did turn around after those 2 encounters, thanks be to God.

[mjhstanglx]

Can’t imagine what it would be like during operation of this mine. Incredible.

[rickwitt]

I would love to hear the history behind this mine. When did it open/close? What's the story behind its closing? I do think it's cool that you guys have investigated it, but I'd love to know how long it's been since it was an active mine.

[MistrData]

Wow this is absolutely stunning! Building structures like this underground is pure craftmanship. Thanks for sharing this with us!
