I've been underground for 15 years. My father and grandfather both spent their working careers underground also.
"Road to Wigan Pier" first half
Grew up in West Virginia and we always felt lucky that our family was in Steel instead of coal. Still incredibly dangerous but compared to coal it's completely different…
I'm sick of him bragging about that white privilege of his dad's
Shoutout Gene’s in Morgantown
Anyone else feel like this interview was as close as Joe has ever been to interviewing himself?!?
Holy Shit …My favorite vocalist on Joe Rogan!! Constantly amazed at the different guests on Rogan!
Our government shuts our mines down, only to ship it in from China… make it make sense
2 of my bestfriends were both killed 3 yrs apart from Pinning Top. They be 48 this year nd gd i miss them so much. They were larger than life
These comments give me Fallout 76 vibes
Underground miner here. Sleeping in my car watching this right now and it's below zero degrees. Looking forward to be home, but then will be back here at the mine after one day off.
As an underground miner in Colorado, thank you Joe. We need recognition. I do this for my family and to support my goals. For my country, for society to improve, and for my family.
Hard life, I wish others could understand a fraction.
My dad was a superintendent coal minner in utah. Also worked for console. He went to a mine in the Appalachian on the east coast. Said it was the most unsafe mine he'd ever been in. 20 mile mine in Colorado is the largest coal mine in America, if not the world. Their coal face is 20+ miles underground.
Edit: he died of black lung, which is caused by breathing in coal dust. It's now regulated and each miner wears a regulator that monitors the air
October sky, great movie
Yea my pap in Northern West Virginia worked in a coal mines for 40 years right after getting back from Vietnam was a head mechanic for a few of the mines up there. Now my uncle's both still do it.
Dont know this guy but u can always tell who are the down to earth people by the way they ask Jamie to look something up. Whether it's polite or demanding. Seems like a cool dude
#4 Richter Scale tremor… Crandall mine collapse. Air got compressed like a Diesel cylinder and detonated the dust of pulverized coal pillars in a massive mine.
When you are born here in the mts it's coal mines moonshine or move on down the line
Former Coal miner here Checkin in!!! Shout-out to all my Brothers and Sisters!!!
I. Worked in that mine at coalwood wv
My gr8 grandfather did this and helped lots of families survive by getting them work doing this and steel milling, and was the pioneer of our family, what he started is still going strong today. Sadly he died of lung cancer from doing that kind of work. Maintained a full fruit n vegetable garden all year round and chicken coop. You had to be a different breed back then.
Shout out to all the tree hugers who have no idea where there power comes from
Imagine how much worse it was without unions…
I did it for 14 years moved on to a new job for better family life but I miss my friends and the work every day.
Oh joe rogan…takes the side of whoever is in front of him..
Fun fact btw I live about 1 or 2 hours away from that “town in Pennsylvania” Centralia. The town is so eerie and abandoned that they actually shot the horror movie Silent Hill there or at least it was based on the town. Look up photos man it’s creepy as hell. 😮 coal mine burning for YEARS
Honest question…who cares?? I remember a few years ago when a presidential candidate offered to get these same workers trained through a program that would make them ready for more modern jobs they were up in arms that they didn't want it. So maybe these peeps just ain't the brightest bunch.
And yet conservatives want to preserve these dangerous jobs for people…joe knows this is ridiculous but wont say because of the conservatives that love him…
the mine in utah- holy shit. the Komatsu are so big they'll crush a f250 and not even notice
U know when the guy has a cap on him its going to be some 'broscience' coming out
“I took my love, I took it down”…..
World’s most sophisticated and biggest mine/tunnels is in Tora Bora, Afghanistan. Hospitals, all types of crazy stuff 😎.
If you think coal mining these days is hard , imagine my grandfather on his side mining by hand in the south wales valleys.
My best friends dad and granfather were coal miners. Tough tough dudes
I'm glad coal is illegal now.
Federal 2 was an Eastern Coal mine Blackville 2 was the Consol Mine. Probably know your dad
Ask Derek Zoolander about working in a coal mine. He got the blacklung.
NASA says Saturn's moon Titan has liquid hydrocarbons on it. In other words, Oil. So there is something we are missing about the formation of oil.
