I lucked up when I was young and didn’t have much experience and got on with Consol Energy. They sent me to a mine they operated named Beaver Gap. They tried and mostly did run in seam. We would cut 55’’ in the belt entry so the pigs would clear. I seen entries get so low that one night me and my buddy wedged out a low coal pinner and had to get the miner man which was cutting with a Dash O Eimco to pull us out. I say all that to say this, we had a boss that when he would take his battery ride across the section doing his pre-shift or on-shift making the faces if he seen a rat he would catch it and spray paint it whatever color he had that night for running centers and he would hide and catch us or the other bolt crew backing out of a place we just finished and throw that rat on top of whoever was teaming the drill from the deck. You would be backing out trying not to tear your curtain out as you came and all of a sudden you would see either a line green or bright orange rat!! I’m not talking about the little mice you usually see, we were way back in there and these things were the size of house cats. Or at least that’s how big they looked coming at you while your laying sideways tramming a drill in reverse!! 😂😂😂

I had been at the training center for the first two weeks of my employment, and they had a board with 30 fatalities on it. Nine of them were bolters. I said to myself, “ I don’t know what a roofbolter is, but I don’t want nothing to do with one of them.”

The roofbolter is NOT the first machine a new miner learns to operate. I was a roofbolter operator for many years and whenever they want to train someone on that machine they pick a seasoned miner with experience 99.9 percent of the time. The bolter operator must be able to study the roof conditions and constantly adjust what he or she is doing. Everyone's safety on the crew depends on the bolter operator doing a good job. So please stop letting people that learned all they know about coal mining from books decide what jobs people get picked for and when they do the picking! Honestly, the roofbolter machine is usually the last machine a miner learns to operate. After he or she has learned many or most of the other operator positions in the mine.

@@davidschick6951that’s true and what brewer said up there is mostly true as well. It’s according to what part of the country you are in, if the mine is Union or non-union, a lot of it depends on what is needed on the section and at the mine as a whole. I have worked at quite a few mines. Mostly non Union until 2016 and went to Alabama and took a section foreman job at Warrior. The only thing that is a given at every mine is that you will definitely see something different than at the last place you worked.

Your God sacrificed himself to himself inorder to forgive humanity, why did your god go thrugh Was your God unable to just simply forgive humanity? If so than your God is not all powerful and perfect for having limitations in forgiveness. Also Satan never lied to Adam and Eve,he told them the truth about about the forbidden fruit. It was your God who created Adam and eve to not no the differences between good and evil aka right from wrong in the 1st place. Another thing Satan never murdered anyone in the bible and your God has committed genocide like the flood for, among many other examples of your God killing people in bible.

I grew up in a coal mining state and I never understood the loyalty that most of the poor people have in coal producing areas when they get none of the rewards of these high paying jobs. Now in recent years I have watched as that loyalty to coal start to die with the younger generations as it should. Coal belongs in the ground where it is found and we deserve newer cleaner and cheaper forms of energy to power our world for all time. These videos made about the good sides of coal use are totally unneeded and have no place among the inventions of tomorrow as there really is no good side to using coal except to continue to pollute our air until one day gold itself has to be mixed with other metals to keep it from tarnishing just like silver is today. I guess 'sterling gold' means nothing to coal companies after all why would they care if King Tut's death mask suddenly tarnished after thousands of years being uncorrupted but then again uncorrupted is a word that fossil fuel companies do not know the meaning of.
