I worked mining coal back in the70s as a side job. My primary job was, you won’t believe it. A RESPIRATORY THERAPIST !!! W mined anthracite coal, which wasn’t mined like the initial coal was mined in this video for sure.
What state was that filmed in?
Scary jobs.

Working in a coal mine ii very hard work you have to be safe too enter there is a lot of preparation to enter the mine safe
It’s amazing how so much has changed, yet stayed the same since the 70’s.
