I live in Angola, NY, and many of the dead and dying were cared for in my childhood home on Maple Street. And, incredibly, my grandfather was a miner in Knox PA, at the time of the collapse. Fortunately, he was not one of those killed, but the collapse is what prompted he and my grandmother to move to Angola. Crazy - but awesome video!!

[@stevengill1736]

Came close in Silverton Colorado - the Gold King mine was still producing when I was there in summer of 1972. There was an adit called the Terry Portal near an alpine peak above the mine that served as an emergency exit and for ventilation. There was also a small Alpine lake above the workings which broke through one night in 2015, flooding the entire mine, but sparing the miners fortunately. It was a huge mess and the mine was closed ... Well, it missed me by 40 years or so, but I remember the sounds of diesel engines running and seeing the shops and the powder magazines here and there, everything lit up and humming. Didn't run into anyone, but one could hear drilling in the distance. Didn't take anything but enjoyed the view....been in active mines before, but this one was creepy as it seemed like everyone just disappeared.....I wonder if the mine or the mill ever reopened?

My grandfather was a coal miner back in the early 1940s. My dad told me just a little bit about the kind of conditions in which he worked. The men who did that job back then were cut from a different cloth…. Right after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, grandpa enlisted in the navy, was a Seabee and saw action in Papua New Guinea…. Sustained injuries and suffered from malaria the rest of his life. Based on what my dad told me, I think grandpa probably figured that fighting the Japanese might’ve been the less dangerous job. The second story you told shocked me so much, at one point, I noticed my mouth was wide open…. The description of what happened to the passengers was horrific… Both stories left me in tears for the lost loves Thank you again for posting this….

I still don't understand why putting mines under bodies of water was even considered. Besides that, who else is going on a Scary Interesting binge streak on this Sunday morning? love the channel!

[@OfftheWallTales]

Money. The grounds they could excavate were already essentially used up. So the only place any of the mines could go was under the river. It should’ve been safe, if they kept their distance. But I will say the… was it 35 feet or 35 meters? Either way, the distance between the shaft and the bottom of the river was way too little. A lake is one thing, but a river is an entirely different thing as it doesn’t stop moving and can vary in weight and height far more than a lake. EDIT: I meant to add that if you look at the map, the other mines were doing the same thing. Each mine had a land area that they owned and that was it. I’m guessing the river was kind of a free for all with no regulations.

[@bradsanders407]

Lakes and rivers are childs play compared to aquafirs. So finding a place without underground bodies of water is more important than surface level bodies of water.

Bank Pit shaft that day only 2 came out alive. There was an explosion in the Mine, which was thought to have been caused by an accumulation of gas from a roof collapse the previous day. 3rd most deadly in UK history and in the top 10 in the world.

I haven't found much good coverage of the Knox Mine disaster on YT, and I so appreciate the details AND the archival footage you provided. My grandfather was a coal miner here, but didn't work for Knox. The mining companies treated miners horribly as a rule. Growing up I heard many times that if a miner died during a work shift, they would leave the body on the family's front porch. And if the family lived in a "company house", the widow wS expected to move out, pay her debt at the company store, and arrange to bury her husband. Just horrendous.

3 days later... "Let's start pumping water in the reverse direction." "All of it?" "Nah, just some of it. Whatever we can manage with our rudimentary technology."

[@weemarionclm]

You're just so awesome with hitting the right speed, tone, background noise. 💯💋

I grew up in the Wyoming valley. We learned about this in school. So many of the mines that cross cross the area are all interconnected.

Thank you so much for not using AI. I appreciate it very much!

[@junestanich7888]

Thanks again, love the legitimate content and not AI voiceover

[@annehersey9895]

Story 1-6 Mining executives went to prison! What’s happening to our country when today, you rarely see anyone get jail time and the fines are usually small in comparison to the companies revenue. We need to return to the days when people who cause others such hardship get punished. Did any Boeing executive go to jail after those two 737 MAX planes crashed shortly after takeoff? I don’t think so EVEN though Boeing knew there was a problem. Hopefully today at least the wives would be much better informed and treated!

[@gavriloking5637]

Amen !

[@crazyaussie7054]

Love your work. Huge support from an Aussie fan ❤❤❤❤

[@mintyr8214]

At lot of ppl mention this so I'm glad that it's stated that there's no AI in this. As a digital artist I really appreciate it

So... I live in germany, in the 60s there was a accident in an iron mine 29 men died and 11 were lost in a dead end. Took them 14 days to get them out. There is a germany movie about it but might be something for you to look into.... it would certenly fit this channel.

[@gavriloking5637]

West or East Germany at the time?

[@NilsNone]

@gavriloking5637 not sure why that matters, but west.

[@HamsterPooh]

At first, I was like, "Ok, so they fell a few feet? So?" But it just kept getting worse and worse...

[@jrfree88]

As a person that grew up in central Pennsylvania…..it’s pronounced sus-kwa-han-ah. Love your content!

[@sagie4615]

Still no AI content ❤ so so so happy to see this. And I've seen such outstanding growth on your channel since you stopped using it. Never stop doing what you do ❤

[@littlebear274]

I remember trying to tell him there was a huge market for non-AI content when he started using it with the claim that he'd get "left behind" if he didn't. Hopefully the number of people celebrating it now that he's stopped again will be a lesson to other creators reading the comments! The longer AI is around the more people there are who decide they don't want it.

[@neonwvlf]

Overall stellar video from how you narrate it to how everything is presented. I always know it's going to be a great day when I see that you uploaded :)

[@SuperGreenshades]

Amazing stories as always

[@AlistairKiwi]

Horrendous to be in those rear first class carriages. I'm glad so many important changes came from the disaster. Plus, I second the no AI sentiment.

[@AnubisOO7]

These videos are so well crafted. The animations are so enticing.

[@Dee-br6lf]

Great video. Thanks for consistent content

[@40beretta1]

Who in their right mind...would Mine next to a river...

[@Rando-user-zm1fx]

There are so many mines that go under rivers and lakes that I think it's more of a rule than an exception.

[@amogus5902]

I really like the notice of how no AI content is used in this video. It may seem menial, but I seriously appreciate using real pieces of art and imagery to support the story.

[@MetalDevil1912]

That's a big dick.

[@soumyajyoti804]

😂😂😂😂😂 saw it bro

[@jrsimeon02]

PA in January, that river water was close to freezing. If any survived the flood waters, they would've died from pnemonia soon after.

[@Mohenjo_Daro_]

Hypothermia, but yeah. Even if they got out of the water, just being wet from it would have meant death after a day or two. Four? Not a chance

[@maxkohmetscher5666]

“Founded the Standard Oil Company” also little side note became the richest man in human history 😂

[@tamonettX500]

"Missed the train", reminds me of the tycoons who cancelled their Titanic voyage at the last minute.

[@dertest936]

Not in history

[@maxkohmetscher5666]

@@dertest936 True but I don’t really consider people who inherited a nations wealth like Mansa Musa or other Kings/Rulers “rich” in the same sense as a self made billionaire like Rockefeller

Bro is stepping it the fck up with the intro graphics

[@soloseraphimheartsong3710]

If you hear rich people that hate government regulations this is an example of why regulations exist. Companies will gladly trade human lives for profit any day of the week. When companies try to convince workers the government is in the way, it’s never for the workers’ benefit.

Such a great video as always, I actually went to college where the Nox Mine used to be since Wilkes-Barre is extremely close to Pittson, PA. My college actually had a small miner memorial at the school since that was the most common job in that area.

[@kaitlynfrewin]

best time of the week is opening youtube and seeing a new scary interesting video in my subscriptions

[@lostphoenix24]

When I heard coal mine in Pennsylvania I thought it was going to be the coal mine fire of Centralia.

[@drtheengrumb4439]

Lived near Pittston, Pa nearly 40+ years and never heard of this.

[@franknice2308]

I was the son and grandson of NEPA miners and 14 years old at that time living in Plymouth, PA. I recalled anthracite coal mining still surviving. That flooding in the Wyoming Vallley mines basically killed it there. Two comments: there is still supposedly 200 years of atnthracite coal energy still underground in Pennsylvania, and, where did all those antique cars come from in 1959 in Wilkes-Barre???
