Filming Over Iron Mountain, Michigan (Inside Helicopter)

[@outdoorshack7541]

Jason Asselin, THANK YOU, I was born in Iron Mt., Mich. and moved to Seattle when I was about ten. My heart is bursting and tears are running down my cheeks. Thank YOU so very very much. I am sending this to my brother and 2 sisters😍 I can’t thank YOU enough. YOU are the BEST.. Joy Veranth

[@jasonasselin]

Glad you enjoyed it. I loved this too. This pilot has since moved away.

[@alkelenson648]

Watching this in 2022- I also was born there and moved away when I was 12. Lived in Kingsford - Go Flivvers!

A very nice video with beautiful music with it Thank you Jason

[@davrober48]

My grandparents , mom and 5 siblings used to live at the end of Pewabic st. Thanks for the tour been 15 years since I was back.Miss it.

[@stantaylor3350]

I didn't know they had a hydro plant there!! Wow!! Learn something new everyday!!

[@revharrycwigmoreiii5787]

Jason, thanks so very much for this video, showing an old man your area, Wow, very awesome and beautiful area. Many lakes in your area and winding River, and that Mountain in the middle of flat ground country really sticks out. Also the sink hole, is that where one of the mines is located? Also Jason, you should promote this video more. For those who do not live in your area and for the train folks, especially seeing how ELS winds through the countryside. Thanks again, Jason, from Smitfhield, North Carolina, Keep up the great vidoes.

I have never seen the pewabic pit from the air. Spectacular. Used to hike all over that pit as a teen. There is an area at the deepest end that has ice in it all year round. Ice on the ground in July and August! If you were there at dusk, you could stand in this same spot as literally thousands of bats swirled around you as they made their way out of the pit to feed at night. Amazing place. Last time I went there (in 1994 I think) the fencing had been improved so that you could not get in. I guess it is for the best, but what an experience.

[@jasonasselin]

Oh, you can still get in. All I can say about that other than I do have some old footage from over 7 years ago that I may post soon. Statute of limitations, eh? lol

[@donaldjverrette2678]

Very cool 😎

[@donfee5574]

Wow thats awesome. I have only been to paradise, newberry, and munising.

[@trekOCLVone]

Good One Jason!

[@smokeyrainbows]

Beautiful!

[@lorijackson3905]

That was awsome 😎

[@lorijackson3905]

Good choice on the music 🎶👍

[@thebluefus]

Really cool

[@brownjessea1]

What's the opening song?

[@joefarnell5672]

SHAZAM shows; "History" by Jincheng Zhang

[@bradleysmall2230]

years from now aerial movies are interesting to compare to current places,

[@billmorris2613]

At the 2:56 mark is that formation, that was zoomed in on, a cave that caved in or a sink hole?

[@kenttalsma7906]

What is that hole? Is that where Iron Mountain got it's name after they mined the iron from the "mountain"?

[@joefarnell5672]

I noticed this formation as well. ANSWER: Both, I assume it is an abandoned mine that has succumbed to natural erosion. And wholeheartedly am hoping a "catastrophic sink-hole prevention team" is made aware of this natural phenomenon. One can easily witness that the dirt road is suspended over cavernous streams.

[@bradleysmall2230]

your right snow chases panhandlers away

[@jasonasselin]

They would rather stay somewhere warm.

[@bradleysmall2230]

-@@jasonasselin you could provide a trailer or a clunker car and propane heater....Perhaps funding from a special referendum on the ballot. You could film the organizing effort and put it on you tube. WOW what an idea. I know who has the capability lol

[@noneofyourbusiness5655]

Most depressing music I've ever heard with this video. 😪

[@jimknarr]

Did you figure out what that round depression is in the woods? Was it man made like a iron mine?

[@jasonasselin]

Pewabic Pit, old mining ruins.

[@jimknarr]

@@jasonasselinIt's interesting that it was pumped dry when you flew over. When I look at it in Google Maps, it is full of water. The owner is KEWEENAW LAND ASSOC LTD which is a privately held mining company.

[@jasonasselin]

Never had been full of water. Google maps is wrong. Keweenaw sold that years ago.

[@billmorris2613]

Good morning from SE Louisiana 5 Apr 21.

[@artcheezz1]

What is that opening in the ground, mine or something else, so usual failed government underground project ? I bet they have usual excuse saying it is sinkhole.

[@jasonasselin]

That used to be the underground Pewabic Mine, the ceiling was dangerously unstable and it was blown in years ago.. Many people have climbed in to explore it since.

[@artcheezz1]

Jason Asselin Thanks for sharing! At least they do not blame on nature this time :) I wonder if *Report From Iron Mountain* has to do anything with this place?
