The Mine Disaster UNDER The Ocean
Scary Interesting
Most interesting for the description of the working conditions. It's just crazy. Presumably, guys were working in the mine because it was easier than farming, or was it because they didn't have any land they could farm? Pretty grim in any case. And then there's the crazy 'man engine' they used to raise men out of the mine.
I caught that A few days ago on YouTube. Absolutely brutal work environment. Anyone who could make a day of that and go back in the morning? Geeeze, Louise! YaKnow, before the Man Engine some of those guys were falling off the ladders,so exhausted they just couldn't stay on the ladder. Some very tough MoFos..
ReplyDeleteAny mining underground is brutal work, even today with a million times better equipment and safety regulations it's a job for tough MoFos, mentally as well as physically.
