Safety Third is a weekly show hosted by William Osman, NileRed, The Backyard Scientist, Allen Pan and a couple other KZbin "Scientists". Sometimes we have guests, sometimes it's just us, but always: safety is our number three priority.

Everyone is crouched but Michael is standing straight up.

[@erickrivasv3077]

Props to the guide guy. He was really awesome and blended in with a bunch of crackhead scientists and a 12 year old child.

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

The guide is Brent from Ghost Town Living, a KZbin channel. One of my favorite channels. I've been following him since he had around 5,000 subscribers.

[@imperlast2]

You should see when he has the diesel brothers there there like toddlers who are crazy rich they went down the elevator thing

@@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm Came here to comment this, and you in verbatim said what I was going to

[@JohnJohnson-dc9yv]

Excuse you, that twelve year old child is also a crackhead scientist.

[@MnemonicHeadTrip]

the guide? he LIVES there and owns the place lmaoo

“Michael go say hi, none of us here know how to talk to women” -William, Married

[@jan_harald]

well, she is literally his "Caretaker", not "Wife", soooooo ;P

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

I feel like Michael probably has the terminal velocity of a squirrel so he doesn't really have to be too careful about falling down a mine shaft

[@MrFixit-kb9ol]

I'm a big fan of what I'll call an "unfiltered documentary." You have a guide who is very knowledgeable on the subject, and the people on the tour are reacting in a very honest way. Eventually, I grew kinda' tired of this common interaction: "Look at this." "OH MY GOD." *commercial break* "It's a broken vase!" Having people respond like adults to a massive, random pit in the Earth is refreshing.

[@bramdekleer2824]

This is why tubeYou is better than VeleTision!

[@jeremysales1232]

The guide is Brent Underwood from the channel Ghost Town Living. That's his town and mines.

[@Naokarma]

Documentaries are always trying to be the craziest thing you've ever seen, yet their editing is the most boring you've ever seen, and the person's reactions are the most generic you've ever seen. It's a terrible combination, making videos like these so much more enjoyable. I feel your choice of "refreshing" is very fitting, here.

[@justintyler4814]

Please don't die in a mine. It's harder and harder to tell your friends and family about the cool engineers you like when they disappear in a mine 😔

[@dinofrancescotucci7596]

Yeah, happens too often

[@dustine4150]

Being risk averse is no way to live

[@cobralyoner]

they are all gone. I remember back int he day when we had Tom Scott and Vsauce and Veritasium and all of them on YT but they all went into mines one after another I feel like they are gathering for some sort of secret project underground

[@jan_harald]

Cody's Lab has legitimately dissapeared from my feed, and he has a mine.....COINCIDENCE????

[@duckqueak]

@@cobralyoner this hole was made for me

[@cameronmaclean9623]

The Chinese coin is older than it says on the label. It looks like it's a coin of Emperor Qianlong, so it would have been made sometime between 1735 and 1796. It's incredible that the coin might be older than the country it was found in. A great find.

[@It-b-Blair]

That part helped me realize how much our history has been white washed too. All the old westerns and popular media just show european descendants/immigrants, and it’s a time so revered by such racist bigots… it’d be great to see how it actually was, and not some disneyified version.

[@Dockhead]

Yeah crazy almost like history existed well before America got founded, and everyone should know enclaves of nations had settled well before the english settlers had established dominance and wiped out the original nationals there

[@breadforall7286]

​@@DockheadThose original nations also wiped out other nations to settle there.​

[@greythumbshenanigans559]

The country was always there, it just caught a new name.

[@COGsandwich51]

@@Dockhead Shut up natives are still here today. back then they killed eachother for the same land and wealth so shut up every race has had hardship. noone is special

[@CRneu]

The chinese worker thing is pretty interesting. If you go out to Nevada, Eastern Oregon, southern Idaho, etc and checkout the old mining sites you'll find a ton of old chinese garbage. A lot of sites dont really acknowledge this, some do. It's crazy how repressed those populations were. Early racist immigration laws very specifically targeted chinese/asian population. Almost all the railroads in the american west were built using chinese immigrant labor. A lot of early logging operations heavily used chinese labor in the PNW. There's a reason that pretty much every west coast city has a sizable chinese/asian population. Hell, even a town like Butte Montana has a lingering chinese noodle house because there was a massive amount of chinese labor there. Butte suppressed the chinese history while promoting the Irish history so nowadays Butte has a huge St Patrick's day festival. It's interesting how much of american history is purposefully forgotten, repressed, and just outright lied about. Nowadays you get called a liar just for talking about it because people think it couldn't possibly be true, despite all the evidence of it.

[@RossComputerGuy]

I remember learning about this in highschool. I lived in Oregon most of my life and what you mentioned is true.

[@clueless_cutie]

The US was literally founded on cheap and/or exploitative labor. I've had so many people get bent out of shape when I explain we used to intentionally bus migrant Hispanic workers across the US border for the growing season and then drop em off back in Mexico to return to their families during the off season. Think oil rig or fisherman seasonal labor where you're gone for three or four months. Part of the reason so many people illegally cross into the US is because they can't legally cross for work anymore or when we cut off these migratory worker programs, families were separated against their will. The Dollup did a hilarious podcast discussing how we tried to convince high school kids to do the labor instead as part of summer programs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGPTYaejj96gm8k

[@Le_dank_memez]

God I wish Nigel was there to check out the lab

[@ClimbingEasy]

Bad enough that Michael Reeves had any proximity to 100 year old Dynamite.

[@Mike__B]

Nigel would be able to explain what the mercury was used for most likely too... then again I would assume Allen would know that yeah Chinese laborers were all over California in the gold rush days, although not sure where Allen grew up if he's a California native or not.

[@cyrilio]

We must have a comparison between the lab in the video and Nigel’s lab. Hear how he would improve it and what he likes about this one.

[@morkovija]

i hope he makes an episode from there!

[@Mike__B]

@@cyrilio well a fume hood installation would be #1 improvement/necessity added to it. Especially if you plan on using mercury to extract metal.

[@NFMorley]

@10:15 - Shame Nigel wasn't there for this! Boric acid powder is one of these strange old-fashioned treatments that we have better modern alternatives too, but still quite common in farming use as mild antiseptic, astringent and antibacterial wound treatment. It's mostly intended for animal use, but I did once cut myself helping out on my great uncle's farm and he gave me a small jar of powdered acid to clean wound/stop bleeding & it worked surprisingly well.

[@jan_harald]

why surprisingly? did you expect it to not do anything, or what?

[@noodlelynoodle.]

@@jan_harald I definitely am surprised since it's main use is as a roach poison I wouldn't expect it to stop bleeding like the blood clotting powder

[@mistephoenix]

Glad to see medical technology has improved slightly since then

[@ac.creations]

On a worksite the first aid kit is basically the same in principle. Better drugs, more types of drugs, and probably better sterilized bandaging.

[@mistephoenix]

@@ac.creations ya the biggest difference for these simple first aid kits is with antiseptics and analgesics which have improved significantly in the past century

[@ac.creations]

@@mistephoenix instead of pouring whiskey on everything and then drinking mercury. Smoke your opium and get back to the brothel.

[@sierrahansen6748]

Micheal is that one Lego character that can go through the small tunnels. That’s his ability.

[@littlerileyg]

This was such an exciting crossover, and everyone's reactions to different parts of Cerro Gordo was so fun to watch. Brent is a wonderful guy and I can't wait to hear more about how the plumbing fix goes !!

[@N1NT3NDUD3]

Right??? Ive been a fan of Brent since the beginning of his channel and a huge fan of OTV and Michael Reeves, it's crazy seeing both together

[@Gunbudder]

6:50 literally 100% of the infrastructure of the area i live in was built by Chinese wage slaves. They were not technically slaves in that they were paid something, but they were indentured servants. And they did an amazing job too! one of the roads they made is still in use today after 200 years of harsh weather. almost all of the stones they sank for the railing are still standing. the Chinese wage slaves are starting to get more recognition locally in history books at least. very little information about them is out there, like their names, where they came from, any writing they did, etc

[@TOGthatoneguy]

i love the fact that you found this guy and have been making content with him. i remember thinking how it would be awesome to see some of the youtubers i watch go and see the mines. i have been following your channel for more then 5 years now and when i saw that you had been doing colabs with brent in the ghost town i was so happy. i have also been following brents channel for 3 yeas or so now, and micheals reeves channel. thank you for the video i really appreciated it, it was a blast watching it.

[@miriamclysdale1696]

I actually love Ghost Town Living so much, this is incredible

[@cs5250]

This is so surreal. I was up there last year for their metal detecting event and now knowing it's been blessed by you adds another layer of history

[@bolgamore4126]

I love your guys'content. Keep up the good work.

GOD the anxiety when watching you guys enter that tunnel without helmets on

[@vodiak]

That and hearing "It's my flashlight!" Really telling that they don't have enough flashlights.

[@jamesgames3301]

this was my favorite crossover of youtubers

[@ciprianurea2752]

While walking in my grandpa's hometown i came across 2 abandoned mines, covered by trees. Mines that only the old people of the town knew about. Its something so... Interesting abou those mines, but at the same time scarry. They are not marked or closed down, they are just forgotten. One of them was a gold mine and the other was for uranium prospects(this was during the time of the communists, and when the regime fell, everybody forgot about them). The goldmine was harder to find and when i did find it, i just stumbled upon it and wasnt prepared with flashlights and long pants. I just cant wait this summer to go there again and explore every last inch of them.

[@Secondary_Mango]

2 of my favourite things.. Cerro Gordo and Michael Reeves… I also enjoyed the podcast you guys made 👍🏻

[@mikem7900]

what a solid colab!!!!

[@TheAwkwardBanana]

This is cooler than I imagined. I would die to visit this place for a month or two, it looks amazing.
