It's hard to watch and hard to believe that these photos captured working conditions of ''only'' about 100 years, not 1,000 years, ago... Heartbreaking!
My grandfather was a coal miner for 44 years. I don’t know when he started, but he was born in 1900, so he could well have been one of these kids (he worked in Ohio, though). He had terrible breathing issues (both emphysema and black lung), and was was disabled for most of my life. He died in 1978, the day after my 18th birthday.
Wow, thank you for sharing. I cannot imagine working in those conditions for 44 years 😳 …. They were built much tougher back then but that still didn’t prevent the suffering.
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos I remember my mom telling me that the whistle was only blown twice a day, in the morning and at quitting time. If it blew any other time, it meant someone had been killed. All you could do was wait until your family did or didn’t come home. One time, there was an explosion inside the mine. The whistle blew and this time it was my mom’s uncle (not sure if it was my grandfather’s or grandmother’s brother).
ugh ! that's just awful. We are so lucky to be living in the times we are now. There are still coalminers and I'm sure its still not an easy job, but one hopes a little safer in the whole.
Great pictures! Very sad
Thank you for watching 🤗
Fascinating. Lovely music, too. Thank you as always 😊
Thank you 🤗
Our hats off to many who worked & slaved in order to not only make a living but to also provide a commodity for others. It seems difficult to almost impossible to get a 14 year old or even a 20 year old to cut the grass. Times have indeed changed. Time for parents to take back their God given roles.
Minecraft is proof that the children long for this
Hey kids, today we're gonna play a NEW kind of video game!
I was born in 1940. By then, Child Labor Laws had been enacted to protect kids.
Uhhh. I don’t think there’s ever been a time I would want to be a coal miner
Fact.
@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos Once you work underground, you realize that there is nothing else like it.

Thank you for your support !
In process of binge watching now. Lol
Binge away ! ... lol
I feel really greatful right now
My family from Wales were all coal miners.
the first boy closed open the door job. had a nice position , for 0.75 cent he had equivalent of 27 usd today.
There is no amount of money to breathe in that coal dust down there IMO
Everyone is glad that it's not like that now though!!!
Happy⚓️ships!
These pictures make you wonder how they accommodated their LGBQT+ child employees.
See, this is why the Tesla is the dirtiest vehicle in human history. Not it's degrading battery is the only main problem! The even bigger problem is, that in any powerstation only up to 35% of the even dirtier coal's energy is transformed to current. But then you haven't already calculated the transforming, transporting, loading and discharging losses in! The oil however, comes up almost voluntary. With petrol/diesel engines you could at least use the waste energy for heating your car! Yes, the petrol has to be distributed first, but that is also the case with current. So, whenever you see one of these Tesla Hipsters, give him a whipping, he deserves it.
That is real hard labour 😮
Right ? I'm not sure many people know how lucky they are nowadays.
They really knew the meaning of hard work back then and took nothing for granted unlike today
Different times indeed... and somehow we still don't seem to be grateful for the times in which we are fortunate to live.
Man I thought that I had it bad having to do chores after weekend morning cartoons!
lol
For those who dont understand or cant relate,....when you do repeated actions for days,weeks,months OR LONGER,your body becomes accustomed to what your doing,basically it's no longer hard or " foreign " to your body.your use to it....
So a job thats very difficult to person with a sit down at a desk job,is not to a person who does the job daily.........I'm talking the WORK,not the danger of this job...
Agree with your point about getting used to the hard work. It's basically muscle memory and conditioning. The dangerous environment however is the main element of concern.
