      please tell me you bought this property or something, sorry if it came up in an earlier video, I am new to your channel.
      But I am pretty sure that there is illegal if it isn't your property or you don't have a permit.

    Though, recently some guys using a disc cutter on a very similar mine seal wall caused a methane explosion, it completely blew the 20 tonne concrete wall over, lucky no one was killed, that was methane gas
    Then going down you should consider the heavier than air gasses?

    Sir, a few months ago I explored this mine through an caved in entrance. I had equipment with me. A slot light. A few bottles of water. And a knife if need be. I recorded my entire explorative trip. I was on the opposite side of the mountain on which you dug that NO-13 out. The mine went extremely deep. At the time I didn’t know too much of its history. Today I do. I wasn’t aware it went two miles deep. About an hour into walking further and further down it gets to the point every direction you look is another path way. Just stone pillars holding it all up. Wood rotted away. Railways remaining. Collapsed stone and some paths collapsed. It was by far the most dangerous explorative abandoned place I’ve did in my life. You can even see water coming from the walls in some areas. If you are interested. I can send you everything I have recorded when I went down. I don’t have any real use of it. I do it for a gig but it seems you do this for a living.

    How do you open a sealed mine? Don't you need permits and approval for something like that? And isn't leaving the mine open afterward considered hazardous?
    What am I missing?

      The coal mines up here in Southern Illinois and our surrounding states get capped off with about the same amount of overkill. Mostly Old Ben Coal,Consol,Peabody,Amax and a few Inland Steel mines. My buddies little brother was nearly burned to death when we were in grade school in the early eighties. They lived next to a mine that was closed in the late 50’s. Bureau of natural resources and land management along with the reclamation department manage the mining property nationwide and have for several years now. They’d be the people to control your access and egress from that shaft and to have the say so on safety and health practices. OSHA won’t have any say so I what y’all are doing nor will MSHA since there isn’t any work going on at the site of this mine you’re at. You more than likely don’t earn any income from this project. BTW, I don’t want any of y’all to think I’m trying to call you out on anything. I just don’t want you or any of your crew to be the ones left holding the bag if anything were to happen My other reason for commenting is to make sure that y’all are prepped with some sort of plan like self rescuers and air meter

    • @lewismocaby3646
      @lewismocaby3646 3 года назад +2

      Back to the point about my buddies little brother. The closed mine property jogged into their property a pretty good bit. That being the case,he had to cross what had previously been part of the mines gob pile to get to the street. That particular morning he didn’t make it to the street to catch the school bus when their yard collapsed under him. The gob had been burning underground for quite some time and nobody new it was happening.That’s just the a little history of what led up to the reclamation dept getting involved in the safety aspect of closed mines and the reason that the ground near the shaft,prep plant and outlying areas are reclaimed in a more reasonable time and manner. Hoping y’all have some self rescue equipment or emergency oxygen gear for being underground with the mines ventilation system not running. I really appreciate and enjoy these exploration vids. Keep up the great work and thank ya for taking on this project.
