WHY DO SO MANY OF THESE VIDEOS REFUSE TO SAY WHERE THEY ARE OR AT LEAST WHAT STATE THEY ARE IN ❓❓❓ OR EVEN THE NAME OF THE MINE❤❤❤

[@Dr.Westside]

If you listen to the video it tells you almost exactly where they're at . Look up the gastineau mine .

[@lazking3815]

Juneau, AK! Sandy Beach is where all these shots are filmed and the city has a historic walk-a-bout trail detailing the history of Treadwell Mine. It's kind of wild for me to randomly find this big documentary coverage of the old mine I lived by for so many years!

[@danielhughes5932]

Your caps lock is stuck and it's incredibly easy to determine where this is. Maybe you need an Internet users handbook

Gastineau Channel. I think this could be Juneau, Alaska.

[@ofcv1238]

Agree - mine right next ocean channel across from Juneau - went next to it but not much to see

[@lazking3815]

Correct! Sandy Beach in Juneau, AK. There's a whole walk-about trail around the old site with educational signage all about detailing the history of Treadwell Mine.

[@kenmandelin7812]

Then they discovered the balrog!!

[@DanieltheTruebadour]

Thetes a great poem about the mine of Calumet disaster. A fellow named Jim Baker went in over a dozen times, saving life after life until the time he failed to emerge. His friend is trying to arrange a funeral for Jim, but all the preacher cared about, was Jim Baker a church -going, Gawd-fearing man. No matter how good, how righteous. Jim's friend finally gives up, tells the oreacher to go. "You've got other souls to save. When my time comes, rather 'n go to heaven with you, I'll go to hell with Jim."

[@michaeladams9641]

Like the mine disaster in 1959 Knox coal company

[@johnscanlon2598]

Hmmm I hadn’t heard of this one either and I’ve been to Ft Knox coal mine on a class trip back in the 90s , pretty neat they have one of the massive excavator buckets laying out by the parking lot our entire 5th grade could fit in it probably about 60 kids

[@mandelorean6243]

Every big company out there...

[@johnscanlon2598]

Interesting I grew up in Alaska and had never heard of this

Mt. Juneau is honeycombed throughout, people to this day are disappearing on hikes or wherever, it’s believed they are falling through into the mine shafts.

[@Yvhv78]

Where. Is the rest. Of the DAMN video?

[@user-lt2nt5ov3w]

So this happened where?

[@person390]

I'd like to know where this is located what state . I've heard about two other mines one salt and and something went wrong in Laweeseana that was catastrophic also . What's more valuable land are gold . There must be a way to get the gold with a small bore tool that runs deep into the vain then backfill with something that's solid . The earth is full of man made holes that are abandoned after gold silver oil salt runs out

[@pauledwards7182]

Try google

[@dewyox]

So what they are saying is there's still lots of gold left just get one those Alaskan gold sluice big water hose go down and suck it out like they do with them under water sluices

[@lazking3815]

There is actually one guy working the area doing just what you're saying! Very cool stuff.
