I live in Anthracite region in Pennsylvania and we call open cast mines strip mines over here. We have quite a few abandoned ones filled with water.

Sounds like a school book report. Dumb

A very informative presentation, nice work.

There was much less known about mining in those days wheather it was mining for coal, asbestos, diamond, gypsom and thousands of other metals and gems the depths of the earth produced over millions of years of geological process.Temperature deep below can be unbearably hot and gases can be deadly. Many times mines have caved in trapping miners inside but with todays technology accidents have been minimised but even so,it is dangerous work!

Robert you sound like a little girl

Sorry to heard this

You always know a millennial is doing the video when they go woke and mention global warming. I guess they want unicorn farts and the wind to power and heat their homes. Hope you got furniture to break up and burn for heat!

Aaaaaaawwwww so adorable 🥰

My great grandfather died when he set a charge that didn't go off. The foreman told him to go back in and fix it and when he entered the mine it exploded. He wasn't killed instantly and was brought to his house and laid out on his couch where he died. My family has been deep mine coal miners going back to Manchester England when they migrated here in the 1800's . My father broke the tradition along with his two brothers and stayed away from the coal mines.

My dad was a miner in Herndon, wv. He had black lung. We moved to nc in 87 due to no work, he died in 2005 , he had moved back to wv just 9 years prior

I grew up in a city with several large coal mines and surrounded with coal mines, we were lucky though when we left school in the early 1960's. we had several large industries we could pick and choose to work at. I chose to sign on as an apprentice elec at one of the coal mines. Our coal mines were owned by the government, so we had the best equipment and training available, plus stiff mining regulations to keep us safe.

Congratulations 👏 and Love ❤️ for this Wonderful presentation

I used to live in waterman village pennsylvania

Well done Hannah, from a retired Scottish coalminer

Well done young lady .My folks were hard coal miners in Northeastern Pennsylvania

Don’t agree that coal caused global warming, the earth has been changing for thousands of years

Video takes me to 1977 when I joined a coal mine underground in India. Enjoyed full.

My mother was one of the first female coal miners. Started in 1982. She was a very hard worker who had a sharp tongue and did not take any shit from anyone. She had a great sense of humor and got along great with the guys. She was truly a wonderful unique individual. I lost her in June 2021. She was my best friend.

That would suck having to by own tools and losing them... I always find my tools underground...

This was an Awesome video Hannah!! I am from NE PA and live in NM now. I want you to know that I am using this to show my students about coal mining. Thank you for taking time to create such a great video! I am sure your teacher was very impressed with your work!! Excellent job and thank you so much for sharing!!

Too much of a female angle on this. Too emotional for all the wrong reasons. Those men were heroes. Not victims.

This is very similar to what was going on in the goldmine towns here in Northern Ontario, Canada. It changed greatly after WW2!

Watched😰😰😰😰

Oh their mine was in southwestern pa.

My great grandfather, grandfather and father. Were Anthracite coal miners from the Wyoming Valley of NEPA. The towns of Edwardsville ,Larksville,

Coal. Mining. Is. The. Most. Interesting. Industry. There. Ever. Was. . All. Of. The. Coal. Mining. Museums. Is. Proof. Of. It .

Couldn't watch it all....the music was drowning out the voice.

Terrific documentary. I live in a mining town in southern West Virginia that was established by a man named Thomas McKell called Glen Jean.

Pennsylvania

My Pop was a coal miner back in the mid 20s in and around the Allegeny River. MANY years ago when we went back to PA, he took me into a few of the mines that were still running, and they happened to be the ones he worked in back then. I’m sure Thankful he didn’t have Black Lung, but he did loose many friends back then.

Back in 1975, I was driving through Pennsylvania and got off the Freeway looking for gas. I ended up driving through what looked like an old coal company town. The town was all but closed up, and I didn't find anyplace open to get gas so I got back on the Freeway to look for another town. When I stopped at the next town for gas, I asked the gas station guy about the town. He said he wasn't exactly sure about the history of the area get the name of the town and have often times wondered more about its history since he's just moved there, but told me a bit about the company towns that still existed in the area. I completely forgot to get the name of the town, and have tried a couple times on Google Earth to find it without any luck. The town was set in a hollow, basically with most of the buildings on one side of the street. The buildings were old and had no paint and the wood on them looked blackened by age and the dampness of the climate of the area. All of them seemed they were closed up, maybe even empty. It was an odd but peaceful place, seemed like there was a nice enough life there at one time but was somehow just bleak enough to not be a place many people would want to stay. Still, I found the place fascinating, but wish I had had more time to explore the area. Now I'm way out west and really can't get there. Anyway, it's a fascinating history of how these towns existed and how people lived there. Thanks for the work you did on your documentary.

Open pit mine or mountaintop removal causes the most damage and provides the least amount of jobs, guess which types of jobs the coal company pushes for.

It don’t take much to make a ton if you don’t believe me grab your shovel

I’m from Canada. I just travelled through Virginia and West Virginia. I was wondering what kind of rock was black I could see in layers while driving on hwy 77. Then it occurred to me. Wow that’s coal. Not to long after I saw what I think was a mine before I drove through Charleston. West Virginia is has a rugged beauty.

My father was a coal miner. He worked for the Stonega Coke & Coal Company in Stonega, Wise, Virginia. We moved away when I was 8 years old. There were 8 children at that time in our family. We moved to Hawkins County, Tennessee. Stonega is still safely tucked away in my heart. We won't forget.

I go to that school but seriously, MY EARS 😵❕I hope there’s a fifth grade band concert though. Mrs. Blue is a good teacher. I currently play clarinet 😂

Very informative and well thought out! Thank you......

Good up to the global warming crap

Awesome job.

Great Job, very informative ! I went on a mine tour in Beckly WV with a former miner as the guide, what great & disturbing stories he had, well worth the money

Thank you. Very informative.

My Dad worked down in the Robinson coal mines in Ernest Pennsylvania back in the late 1960's early 1970's. There was a Bad Cave in and Many Miners died and My Dad told me it took over 6 months to recover some of the bodies ..He said there are still Bodies and Machinery buried down in that mine ..They sealed that mine off ..My Mom Made my Dad quit the mines after that .We then moved to Ohio and lived there till the early 1980's. .My Dad couldn't breath anymore and couldn't take the Cold of Winter in Ohio so we moved to Florida where he passed away at 49 years old .Doctors said he had Black Lung
