It's as scary as Republicans' fear of 14 transsexual Thais hiding under their beds, each with sharpened teeth, eager to bite any body part that flops down in their direction.
It's a very small mine in some pretty hard ground. It's not like other mines people are familiar with. The problem is there are faults in that hard rock that'll move enough for a sinkhole to happen when 60 years worth of traffic drives over it.
That’s crazy! I lived in Mine Hill. Literally a mining town. There were sometimes sink holes that opened up. (Mine Hill is very close to here, next to Wharton)
Before freeways and housing developments ruined rural NJ my family spent summers in a cabin near a lake in Morris County. There was a mine shaft in the woods nearby. The entrance was clogged with leaves and debris, so for once my brothers & I had the good sense to stay out. Makes me wonder how many long-abandoned mineshafts there are in that area.
There are many small mines in the area and vertical shafts are rare but do exist. Most were Iron mines using what's called a slope which goes down on an angle or a horizontal adit. I think I know what cabins you're referring to and under those leave and debris there was likely a concrete cap. It probably looked like a crater full of rock and leaves.
@@haunter_1845 It's a family cabin by Lake Rogerene, not far from Lake Hopatcong. My brother lives there now. Many good memories, but I live in Oregon now. There was a kind of manmade cave or dugout nearby, used by tramps (what we called them back then) judging by the old mattress and empty food cans.Don't know why it was originally constructed or if it had anything to do with the mine.
@@haunter_1845 Interesting! Thanks for the info. I wish I could hunt through those tunnels for artifacts, unless of course that's already been done so much there isn't anything to find..
there is no clear resource for the mapping of abandoned mines. the truth is, they know where some of them are, but definitely not all of them, probably not even the majority are known.
even better, let's build a stack & pack apartment complex right smack dab on top of it, that's what that parking garage structure in the background is attached to, $3000 mo for a 2 bedroom
It's been an odd year for weather and geology in the area. There was a big earthquake in april, a severe fall drought, then heavy late fall rain followed by an early freeze. These are the kinds of things that can cause this to happen.
How could they build a highway on top of an abandoned mine and not know it was there? Aren't they supposed to be registered somewhere? If this mine wasn't, they need to find the companies responsible, if possible, and make them pay for this. Glad I don't live anywhere near that traffic.
That mine closed pre-1900 and was last mapped in 1949. They shored it up when they built the highway in the early 60s but things move over time especially with the number of fault lines in the area, an April earthquake, and a severe fall drought followed by heavy rain.
@@haunter_1845 So the engineers were at fault. They knew there was a mine down there and all they did was shore it up. I'm not sure how deep that mine is, but it seems like it was at least 40 feet in height by the depth of the collapse. Maybe they should have blew up that section of the mine and back filled before building a major highway over it. Idk, I'm just some smuck on YT.
Does the shaft run horizontally to the road , how far? Or is it just straight down? If running under the road how much more might collapse , and why was it not on any surveying map , never should have put a road over a mine shaft , right ??
This could be a 48 hour repair if there was less regulation and corruption. As it is, it may take months to get it fixed. It is fairly simple to fill and compact a hole with proper materials but the flower or mushroom, Snail or Cave Bat my be endangered and so the hold up will be for quite a while.
They had to know.. I’m in OH and I-80 is a TOLL road.. not sure if it is all the way in NJ but I’m betting likely. They most definitely knew and didn’t care. That would have been super tragic.
I believe this is going to be a reoccurring event now that we've had multiple earthquakes throughout NJ , PA & NY City & STATE .. Thank God this was caught before it got worse. 💥Bada Bing Bada BOOM 💥 I approve this message 🙌🏼 Nj'sJfJr 👍🏼💪🏼❤️🇺🇸
Thankfully no one was there when that happened.
How do they know?
Or maybe Santa and Rudolph were there, but we haven't found them yet in the rubble.
I'd be worried to drive there even when it's done. Where is the rest of the mine? And when is it going to collapse?

There are abandoned mines all over the place.

Yep, I know. Same in at least portions of IL. There's an abandoned mine under my dad's house.

100s u can look them up scary i live by the lake
Good thing corporations pay plenty of taxes to rebuild the disasters they cause. 😂
It probably was a mine shaft from the late 19th or early 20th century. So I would assume whoever is responsible couldn't be held accountable today.
@@kereyc5751 Exactly, the Iron mines in the area date back to the Revolutionary war and operations ceased not too long after the Civil War.
@@haunter_1845 Interesting! Thanks for the info. I wish I could hunt through those tunnels for artifacts, unless of course that's already been done so much there isn't anything to find..
@@kereyc5751 Some adits used to be explorable but now they've been sealed with concrete or metal grates to allow bats in. Bears used to like them too.
The company who dug the mine should pay to fix the roads, not the state funds.
I'm guessing the mine was there first.
Jill’s husband was supposed to have fixed that with his infrastructure bill.
@@JohnSmith-yl6dn He is! He's improving our infrastructure by putting money into railroads so that we can pull cars off highways altogether

Brilliant, let's build a freeway over an abandoned mine. What could happen?
even better, let's build a stack & pack apartment complex right smack dab on top of it, that's what that parking garage structure in the background is attached to, $3000 mo for a 2 bedroom
Hope no cars fell in, have they checked?
Oh! Oh! Oh!
What an unforseen calamity!
What is the history of the mine? How much bigger might the sink hole get?
The real question is what came out of that 🕳 🤔
Have the drones started flying out of it yet?
It's been an odd year for weather and geology in the area. There was a big earthquake in april, a severe fall drought, then heavy late fall rain followed by an early freeze. These are the kinds of things that can cause this to happen.
The earthquake is because there is a legit fault line in NJ. A very large one called the Ramapo fault line.
@YTcensorsEverything That's the big one. There are smaller faults within 500' of this mine that may have moved when the Ramapo fault did.
Why would you build a highway over a mineshaft to begin with what kind of idiot thought of that?
"yes, this is not good news for drivers." The same reporter might say, watching a forest fire, "This is not good news for trees."
That section of road has been deteriorating for years. They kept shoring it up without looking into a cause.
figures
How about people are too damn impatient to let it be closed for 15 minutes.
Dang! As if New Jersey doesn't have enough going on...
My bad
This did not form overnight.
Lol started when they put a highway over a mine.
Damn😖

Just stop, you're clueless
@@tjewett1967 So give me a clue
@@tjewett1967 I hope you don't mean me, I know these mines I grew up there.
Does the mine run perpendicular to the freeway?
First drones now sinkholes in New Jersey??? What's going on people???
Maybe they r connected somehow?
My theory is the aliens are angry about Trump getting elected, then Musk taking over!
That wasn't a mine under there, it was a Jewish space laser hole!
Oooh I love a good conspiracy theory… what were you thinking??!!
'CBS' to be renamed 'See BS'
So…what about the rest of the area? Seems generally unsafe. Where’s the next sinkhole going to be, 100 feet down the road?
UFO’s now sinkholes?!!!!😂
I just drove over that part of the road on Xmas.
Wow!
Lots of military high speed train tunnels go along the interstate highways, just a thought
Does the shaft run horizontally to the road , how far? Or is it just straight down? If running under the road how much more might collapse , and why was it not on any surveying map , never should have put a road over a mine shaft , right ??
What is happening to New Jersey? May be time to flee that state.
Perhaps 🤔 the practical answer is to reopen the mine---as it is already ready to go!
Taking out the tunnels
Mr. President... we must not allow a mine shaft gap!
I heard Chris Christie had to pull his car over on I-80 after he heard Trump won the election; never thought it would turn into this.
No doubt it's a tunnel leading to Mexico.
Yeppers, wouldn't be surprised if that section of "THE WALL" collapses too!
😅😅😅

Heavy electric vehicles and semi trucks. Its safe now..the collapse filled the mine!
Drones zapped that hole. 🕳️ 👽
Too many coincidences
Hmmm...🤔. I wonder if they found the missing nuclear material.
I'm sure they'll find a way to blame Trump

Unless they added tolls recently, 80 in NJ is not a toll road.
BS!....a nefarious underground tunnel.... definitely not associated with a mine....
Bet it's a collapsed storm sewer main (but they'll never admit that). I doubt the mine shaft story - sounds, like, soo made up.
