It's curious that, when speaking of a Japanese drilling ship, the video shows three US Navy ships, and, when speaking of a South African diamond mine that can be seen from space, the video shows the eye of a hurricane.
And that was not at all the intent of the project. It's a neutrino detector. The clear ice was a perfect location for a dimensionally stable neutrino detector array. It could have been anywhere, but would have been much more difficult to set up.
when the 1st super diamond mine was found. the diamond industry tycoons got together and repress the information about the diamonds super mines. this is why capitalism doesn`t work as people think it does. the businessmen can get together and do backdoor deals
They are expensive because of losses from mining them, and so few people buying them. The majority of "diamonds" they are selling are dust, not "cut gems". Ironic that gems can be made cheaper and faster, with more perfection, from simple carbon from burned "junk". Still, no-one even needs these things.
The Mir mine couldn't have been built by Joseph Stalin in 1955 since he died on March 5, 1953. Nikita Khrushchev was running the country in 1955 after emerging victorious from a power struggle following Stalin's death. Please get your facts straight! :)
I've been to Kimberly diamond mine twice in my life, and the hole is getting bigger and bigger each year by itself the town Kimberly it self is the most haunted city in my country South Africa because of all the people that died when the mine collapsed and apparently houses have collapsed in as well
The Penrhyn Quarry is a slate quarry located near Bethesda in north Wales. At the end of the nineteenth century it was the world's largest slate quarry; the main pit is nearly 1 mile (1.6 km) long and 1,200 feet (370 metres) deep, and it was worked by nearly 3,000 quarrymen.
I live near the Santa Rita (Chino) mine. It used to be a kenecot mine back when I lived here in the 80’s but somewhere along the lines changed hands by the time I moved back. It’s currently 1.75 miles across and 1,350 feet deep.
Bingham COUNTY Mine??!! How about Bingham CANYON Mine!! AKA Kennecott Copper Mine. Located in Salt Lake County. There’s not even a Bingham County in Utah. Come on editors! Get your facts straight before publishing. Was this an “autocorrect” typo that no one caught?
I live about 15 miles from the mine. Did you notice that many of the photos supposedly showing the Bingham mine area were not shot anywhere near the Bingham mine? It makes me doubt the accuracy of everything in the video.
@@Cory-M Yeah I agree. I'm from denmark, but have been to Bingham twice while travelling in the US, since I have interest in it as a geologist. Lots of weird things going on in this video. I also noted the sequence with the cars over the bridge at 0:48 is actually filmed at Gap of Dunloe in Ireland and has nothing to do with the diamond mine in Canada. The mineral shown at 1:42 is pyrite as far as I can see. Iron sulfide. Not really that relevant when discussing a copper mine. "Mine visible from space" at 5:42 and they show a weather system, hurricane or similar, with the eye in the middle. No relevance for a mine. Why not show this mine from space? 7:30 while talking about Bingham, that's Gap of Dunloe in Ireland again....
Yup Kennecott copper mine can be seen from space (with binoculars) and is the largest open pit mine in the world PERIOD. They also mine gold but to a much lesser degree
So, at 7.5 miles the temp was 360F? And everything at that depth is "practically liquid"? Then, pray tell, what are ovens made out of? How do humans cook? What are engines made out of?
I am not sure about liquifaction at that depth. I thought that process would only happen in uncosolidated sediments. The rock is solid at that depth, but due to the increased pressure it deforms in a ductile way and flows, rather than crack in a brittle fashion like at the surface. There is a common misconception that the Earth is mostly liquid beneath the crust, but other than the outer core it is solid.
I read another story saying that the drillers quit because of their equipment breaking due to too much capacity for then drilling equipment. Drilling equipment today maxes out at a million pounds of casing weight. And you add the average length of a casing tube and you’ll get your depth, a lot shallower than 7.5 miles or 9 miles deep. I’m sure with today’s equipment and tools, we could go further but there have been some horror stories about that hole. A neat read.
In the immortal words of the great Firesign Theater - "As some Chinese philosopher said, just dig a hole that's deep enough, and everybody will want to jump into it."
I've always been taught that they know what's down in the middle of the Earth, but they say in this video no one knows for sure. I've always figured that no one really did. Interesting video. Those are some crazy holes!
I hate videos like this, showing incorrect footage and photos, you showed a massive cyclone saying you can see the mine from space but it was just the eye of the storm, then the Kolas drill hole you are showing surface open cut mining haul trucks and then guys working in an under ground mine when Kolas was drilled by a surface drill rig
i too felt the nr 10 records were reaching.what made me look were the last one. japanese scientific longest drill hole.3 miles under sea level are not really that deep . i come from a sea drilling oil land
The Kennicott visitor center was rebuilt, and ‘test opened’ to invited guests in the autumn of 2018. It is scheduled to open to public again in the warm season of 2019.
Allie Glamour - Good thought... except it is actually not tied to people. After all the hand-wringing and doom & gloom, it turns out that the size of the hole in the ozone layer is controlled by the temperature... not by hairspray.
Thank you for educating me on this topic. Though i would like to add……I didnt say that humans created the hole; they only made it bigger with all the toxic fumes released into the atmoshpere daily by factories, cars, and peple. And while the hole is becoming large because of the temperture rise or as some may say “Global Warming” Humans still have effected the rate of how fast the hole is growing. So I see you point and applaude you for not being rude and just letting me know and i just wanted to defend my comment. Thank you
Hm nope Atomic testing in the atmosphere in the fifties and sixties and that is why they started underground testing and do not forget all the aircraft around the world fly higher than pollution rising that high. Think about it, millions of flying hours. Military and corporations blame the little guy.
Lol, I live in the NWT and I recognized Diavik from the thumbnail and there's some inaccuracies in this video. Most employees at the mine fly in and out every two week rotation, and they do not fly in by a helicopter.. the idea that the employees can get stranded is inaccurate as it's only an hour flight from Yellowknife which is the main point of pickup. Also, while the ice road is accessible for a few short weeks, it's mainly used for the mine's shipments and imports by semi trucks.
Without this giant sandbox digging you probably wouldn't enjoy the luxuries in your life or live in that home you live in... you can still choose to move to Africa and live in a Igloo made of cow and buffalo s*** I'm sure there's no metal or minerals in animal crap
Thomas Maughan not Namibia man, you're definitely not talking about German South West, you're talking about the new Africanised Communist and Socialist(always lying wherever they go) Namibia, Africa in a whole boet. You are actually talking about the leadership of Namibia, not the Land of Sud West. Another thing don't call a country out onto the board, if you don't know how to play chess.
I got no problem mining in the earth for useful materials we need in our day to day lives, and like you saw, if it's done properly and all environmental concerns are studied and taken into account, it could actually looks beautiful and becomes a tourist attraction. But honestly, why would anyone dig for diamonds that much? The main motive is money, and those are mostly accompanied by utter greed and carelessness for all the trails left behind. Not to mention, we all share the same rock!
@@moealsharif1669 There is nothing humans "need" beneath the surface of the earth. Only things that we "want"... Everything that every "surface dweller" NEEDS, is on the surface of the earth. Which is getting more and more toxic now, from things we keep bringing UP from BELOW the surface. What we NEED, is to WANT less.
@@PJ_Davis Well, humanity had a lot of interested in a soft, relatively cheap metal with good thermal and electrical conductivity. Not to mention its ancient uses as the first metal we learned to forge.
Research by historian Steve Lunderstedt in 2005 confirmed that the mine was the biggest hand-excavated hole in the world at 19.65 hectares (48.6 acres), slightly larger than the Big Hole of 17 ha (42 acres) in Kimberley, which had claimed the title up to then. Jagersfontein Mine - Wikipedia
The biggest mine in the world is the kennicott copper mine(Bingham canyon mine) in Utah,USA and I live by it. It also has the tallest tower at the kennicott smelter in the u.s. western hemisphere! You can still go to the mines overlook! 100% recommend it is beautiful. Those big huge mine trucks are amazing!
So let me get this straight.... The Mir Mine in Russia is 1722ft deep and 3900ft wide, and is somehow the 2nd largest diamond mine in the world, whereas the Kimberly Diamond Mine in South Africa is a mere 705ft deep and 1500ft wide and somehow gets the title of world's largest Diamond Mine????...... Make it make sense 🤔🤔
00:47 is the Gap of Dunloe in County Kerry, Ireland. It is not near the Diavik mine in Canada. For some reason you showed it again at 7:27 in relation to the Bingham mine. Please mention Kerry in the video description as we benefit from tourism in Ireland and we love to receive visitors, even if they are searching in the wrong place for a huge hole in the ground :)
Is anyone else alarmed that they are digging up long forgotten viruses buried in the ice? I’m sitting here in my home, quarantining myself from Covid-19 and watching things like this. I’m obviously a glutton for punishment!
No mention of Homestake gold mine in South Dakota? Homestake closed after mining to over 8,000 feet with hundreds of miles of drifts (tunnels). Possibly a larger hole than five of these others combined. I lived a mile above sea level (Lead, SD), drove 15 minutes to work and on occasion worked over 1,000 feet below sea level (6,250 deep at that time.)
AAAAHHAGHHAHHHHH I LOVE LIKE THINGS THAT ARE LIKE DEEP HOLES OR LIKW WEIRD AND COOL AND MYSTERIOUS STUFF ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS OUTSIDE OF EARTH AND LIKE PLANETS ESPECIALLY GALAXAY AND SPACES!!!!! Sry i really love knowing things about our planet and mysterious stuff in our planet and especially outer space😅😅😊😊 Love you💖💖💖💖
I can think of one A-hole that no one thought would ever become as big as it is today. Hint: It's surrounded fawns and hot air and moves between Mara Lago and 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
how come you don t have the open pit copper mine in casa grande arizona.. its on the north side of town.between phoenix and tucson.check it out on google maps it closed down in the 1980s run by a company named asarco. its got to be bigger then most you have here !there is a lake at the bottom of it and its ground water seeping up.arizona is known as the copper state.phelps dodge .,hecla,arsarco.names of companys that ran mines in arizona act like they did so much for the state all they did was rape this state the miners were paid well when they were working but they would lay them off half the time then when they laid them off for good and closed the mines they lost everything they had you could of bought campers,boats,cars,etc. for 10 to 20 cents on the dollor those companies left millions and millions of clean up costs! what they did was create enities that they sold the mines to then claim bankruptcy to get out of paying the millions and millions of clean up costs that the tax payers are gonna have to pay!the state government had to been in on it but were bribed because they turned a blinded eye to it they sould of told them we know what your trying to do by making these fake enities companies and claming bankrupcy to not pay clean up costs clean up your dame mess or go to prison !
there is no mess, it's just the mess in libturds minds - but the gov will push and pull you in every direction over it - and you'll biter and be angry and disoriented while they extract their tolls, forever
Photographic equipment hanging at the bottom of a weather balloon is not what I call outer space technology. It's called a balloon approximately 120000 feet before the balloon explodes due to structural catastrophic collapse because of unequal pressurization within the balloon to the outside of the Blue Moon surface is so minimal that the material holding you can change are cannot withstand the pressure differential and becomes defeated. But it takes a lot of pictures between launch and explosion of the balloon. Never in space you cannot exceed the firmament Dome
The Hull-Rust-Mahoning Open Pit Mine on Minnesota's Mesabi Iron Range is 1.5 x 3.5 miles wide and 600 feet deep. It's a US National Historic Landmark and on the US National Register of Historic Places.
Interesting that you neglected to mention the Superpit Gold Mine just outside Kalgoolrie, Western Australia. At 3.6 by 1.6 kilometers in size with a depth of 512 meters , It is visible from space.
