“Scary Interesting”
This is the Barnes Hecker Mine. It was first opened in 1923 and would eventually reach 1000 feet into the earth, in an area littered with surface and underground lakes. But despite the great caution taken by the owners, something unforeseen would happen deep in one of the tunnels that would have…

That kid climbed to beat the devil and did.
Whats the music that played at the beginning? Its freaky
Well I’ll be! I’m a Yooper originally from about 45 minutes from there. Never heard of the Barnes Hecker story, but knew of the mine to describe an area. Back in 2004-2005, I actually worked just north of the mine, rebuilding the Silver Lake Basin when that entire reservoir drained by dam failure. I think the dam itself was rebuilt last, around 2007/8
This video is almost entirely misinformation and should be remo9ved. I am an historian and I have studied the Barnes-Hecker mine disaster for years and have spoken about it and authored about it. Right now, here in Ishpeming, multiple families who had past relatives who were killed in the disaster have contacted me to "do something about this B.S. account." Please remove it. It is not even close.
I can still remember me and miss.. November Rain….. beautiful and strange….
Can we cut down on the spooky music when doing this? it serves no purpose.
How did the ones in the morris mine know there was an emergency?
Climbing 80 story in 14 mins ? That has to be a record . Buddy was really fighting for his life that so sad
Me trying to dig a hellevator with my copper pickaxe
For fucks sake can u tell some happy stories where they all survive and the cave or mine or whatever loses and eveythings all good
Me in history class: 🤮
Me watching random mine disaster videos on YouTube: 😋
flint michigan, that man is cursed.
You got me at '… as their candle blew out…'
Nope.
I'm more shocked a mining company was more progressive on how it handled employee welfare and treatment than most companies in 2024.
Hold on, Why would they even think its a good idea to build a mine under a body of water?
Comment added at 0:00 did not realise they would bring that up 1 minute after
noicE
Thank you for being one of the only YouTube channels that I don’t have to watch on 2X speed.
So many Finnish people, this hit different when in the end you see names…
Dont care how much you paid me i would never work a mine 😅
ish pemming lol ish-puh-ming
Look up the Sunnyside Mine outside of Silverton, CO. Similar incident but fortunately the water burst on a Sunday when nobody was working.
Good lord 🤨
"So with essentially a whole lake pouring into the mine like a pressurized hose"
I didnt think Id hear that sentence in a life.
This was my first watch of your channel and it was excellent. Not sure why it popped up but I’m glad it did.
i can't even climb 80 flights of stairs in 20 minutes thats insane
Please don’t make up stuff, just to fill little details of the story. I won’t pick apart each one, but the ladder breaking is just one blatant one.
My Grandfathers sisters husband died in this tragedy. I've heard the story about this so I'm thankful for being able to watch this.
Hey btw, I’m from the UP, and Ishpeming is pronounced Ish-pim-ing not ish-pem-ing. Don’t sweat it though lol it’s just something that caught my attention.
This happened to me in dwarf fortress
Yep. Sounds like men had it easy back then and women had to suffer.
What a scary prospect to think of, just the force that water can have when it looks so harmless. Although not water related this reminds me of the Pike river mine explosion here in NZ where only 2 survived.
All these stories are perfect examples of why we need unions
insane story.
a company that genuinely tried to do the right thing for their employees, and when something bad happened, tried to make it right as best they could? that's shocking.
Its not Ish-peming it's "Ish-pa-ming"
