The Mine Disaster UNDER The Ocean
The Mine Disaster UNDER The Ocean
#Disaster #Ocean
“Scary Interesting”
This is the Levant Mine. Also nicknamed the mine under the sea. It was first opened in 1820, and would eventually reach 2000 feet deep into the earth. But also a full mile underneath the Atlantic Ocean. I’m sure you can imagine what might happen if one of the tunnels were to fail. Incredibly,…

Uncle Thieving Sam still does stuff Like the guys not getting paid to walk to work and climb up and down the ladders. Lot of businesses don't pay ya to drive to and from work.
Thank you for shining light on these overworked under appreciated people.
I've seen videos on working mines around the world. It's as dangerous or more than depicted..
As always capitalism being useful at ruining human lives.
So not under the ocean
So this is what old people meant when they say "SEND THEM BACK TO THE MINES" to disrespectful kids
All i can say is Hail Masculinity Hail Men if they are not putting their bodies in line the society and infrastructure would collapse in a day.. We have taken men for guaranteed and never acknowledged their Hardwork and Sacrifices
Miners truly deserve all the respect and thankful admiration for doing a job that wasn't just dangerous but also essential. Without them, we would still be using tools of wood and stone.
Hell on Earth. People’s lives were horrific back then.
Things are a lot safer in the developed world, same can’t be said about cobalt mines in Africa and the like
Seeing the thumbnail has already sent shivers down my spine…Rest in peace to everyone who wasn't survived that time & my condolences to the friends & family they left behind…🙏
That's why it's still called a "skip"
I’m of Cornish descent from the area of South Australia that was mined for copper up until 1923. Fortunately enough, conditions in the Wallaroo and Montague Mines were ‘ better’ than those in Levant, with some electric lighting and man skips. But it still must have been one hell of a job!!
cornwall my home ❤
These guys were the real OG…same with the ealy MEN thst went to war
Does anyone know why the mine was so hot? I thought that majority of mines had pretty consistently low temperatures
An insurance company payibg out without being forced to? Why ill be.
Imagine surviving such a disaster, climbing 1,5-2h out of the shaft, injured, exausted and then heading back down staight away to rescue your colleagues. These miners were a different breed of men. Absolutely nuts these guys…
dude do you really need to explain in painstaking detail the process of mining like i was born yesterday…. just gonna look up this story from a real story teller not this crap
I love how you took the time to give us a nice and detailed overview of the history of the "elevators"
we havent changed a fkn bit. the elite are still obscenely greedy psychopaths
FCK that!
Levantine indeed was a dangerous place, yet rich of natural resources, not only in regional and political sense but also on a mining site in UK too.
I walked past/over this the other day and just thought it was another mine (Cornwall has a few) but I had no idea it was so big or any of the history behind it. Great video as always.
When conservatives whine about "government regulation," it's because this is the world they want to bring back.
Can we take a minute to think about why people would work in a place like this? Obviously, there would have been many reasons… But the main reason would have been to pay rent to a LandLeach. And while most occupations are much safer today, the sad part is that a huge number of people still engage in them not by choice, but to have their wealth siphoned away by sociopathic rent-seekers. Maybe it's finally time to imprison all LandLeaches and distribute land to the people who live on it.
Safety Regulations are written in blood.
OUR BLOOD.
The Rich do not pay this price.
And there are many people who would, who want to return to this.
am 90% sure i watch basically the same video on the history channel 5 years ago
Oh, don't worry. England has a mine to the north west area. That is all going out under the north sea.
I'm guessing England hasn't learned anything about digging under a major body of water.
I was expecting the tragedy to be the water above caving in lol
This sounds like a random game of Dwarf Fortress
For a period before the introduction of wet-drilling, the major killer in Cornish mines was silicosis. Accidents like the Levant disaster were relatively rare. I had a strong interest in Cornish mines when I was a teenager. In the early 1960s, when I was 17 or 18 , we turned up at South Crofty, then still a working mine. My father had a chat with somebody – it seemed like the man on the gate, but I guess it must have been someone further up the tree. Anyway, the upshot was that I was given a hard hat and spent a whole morning down the mine with a graduate student from the Camborne School of Mines. Steam winding engine and all. No organised tour, just me and him. Health and Safety at Work? Pouf! An experence of a lifetime. I still have the jar of tin concentrate they gave me.
Imagine being a sapper in ww1 and come back to thus ptsd inducing work environment😮
Not getting paid for ladder time is the worst part
Thats a decently high geothermal gradiant for sure
I drove into a surface mine here in WV today to check on equipment on a cell tower. I’m debating on applying to work for the coal company, but I’m not going underground. Oddly enough, I enjoy touring caves!🤷♂️
Great video 👍👍
imagine it… geesus.
Wow, thats explain why communism was so attractive to labor people at this time.
Lol, imagine today's oil rig workers who think they're tough
Finally some Cornish stories!
Imanine wokring in a 1800/1900s mine all day , the collapse happens. You survive and manage to hang out for a decent amount of time only to climb a ladder out. Then when you exit you volunteer to work and help the remaining survivors. Truly some bad ass men. They really don't make them like they used to
6:25 IRL platformer game. The kids clearly long for the mines.
