My dad worked the 80s. And Cole run I'm 50 I went to John's Creek school. I live in TN I'm glad it's operating. I will pray for you. All the miner's and the family. B safe 🙏🙏
Epic! These vids are something else. I went down a coal mine here in the UK. It's now a heritage museum, sadly. Quite an experience! The deepest coal mine here in the UK was Parsonage Colliery in Lancashire, North West England at 3024 ft. Closing the "pits" as we called them here in the UK was a BIG mistake for so many reasons. Here, we're sitting on vast reserves of high quality coal but we're importing it now from Poland and Kazakhstan in Central Asia! How crazy is that. We used to a very large coal mining industry here until the 1980's. U S. coal miners stood in solidarity with British miners in the big strike against pit closures 1984-1985. It was long time ago but the solidarity and support was hugely appreciated and certainly not forgotten. Thankyou.
I worked underground for years in southwest pa. Big longwall mines. I loved mining, but got fed up with it. Mainly the workforce got so bad I couldn't take it. To many followers and not enough leaders. I was also sick of rotating shifts every week. I miss it but I'm much Metter off now.

Спасибо за видео. Вспоминаю работу под землёй и на сердце тепло. 😊
Brings back so many memories. I started in 1981 and was timber man on pillar crew. I would give anything to go back and experience it one more time

I worked in that mine from 2004-2012. Under mike diamond, kieth turmire,n james slone.1-2 section
I would love to work underground
I've never worked coal, just hard rock, but I love working underground.
tell that miner man to stop dry chaining, he should have enough coal on the ground and in his pan to have you loaded in 40 seconds!
What years did u work underground?....and triple nickel?
2004 to 2019
Not been underground in 40 years and can still smell it watching this .. stay safe
Hi ex miner from uk , how do you get a cell phone down a coal mine , sound dangerous . have a good un
I was wondering about the microwave too 😂
Probably no problem taking pictures and videos. You wouldn't get a signal to make a call. My opinion
wouldnt do it for 2 thousand an hour.
You seem to not be nervous at all. Guess they have structural support figured out nowadays, but how often, and what causes the cave ins?
