Is This How Everything Connected Underground? 

As a life long resident of Pennsylvania and a retiree of Mine Safety Appliances, I’m pretty familiar with coal miners and their equipment. At MSA, I worked for a few years in the first manufacturing department the company had; making miners batteries, the headlamps for them and all of the internal parts for them. We thought a lot about doing it right as people’s lives depended on it. One of our teammates husband started out in a mine near Cheswick.

My ancestors were immigrant coal miners in Coaldale - about 90 miles N of Philly- they called it The Hole- one brother was a pipe fitter. Another was a bottom man - who did the dangerous work of building out the new shafts- he was killed in WW2 - they were fearless men - knowing every day they might be coming home in a body bag. I’m reading their letters now from 90 years ago, they make me cry…especially when I see these tunnels… brave & fearless….😢

As children in NE PA northeast of Scranton we would explore the old mines especially in the summer they were nice and cool we found a half case of dynamite, lmao I'll never forget the look on my father's face when he found us in the garage trying to find a way to set it off,it was the only time I ever saw the color drain from his face. The dynamite was very old we tried burning it dropping heavy weight on it shooting it with deer rifels nothing works. I guess that old adage God watches out after fools and children is true . Great video

Hey Dweller Brother..Best COntnet Evr!! i NEed to get to a tripwith you allone day ..!! Im close..anyway,,Thankx for the vids! I miss the ole PA pplaces its been so long since Lost house out strippins .In Highland,,,Freeland... Stay safe ! God bless

I don't know if guys notice, it looks more like this tunnels are actually purposely blocked. One part I was watching there was no way that pile of stone came from the ceiling!!! Around 3:44 minutes in!!! That pile of stone didn't collapse, it was stacked there!!! Awesome video!! Keep up the great work!!👍💪

That object you were asking about at around the 8 minute mark was a lifting bar for moving an oil tank when it's on a wheeled skid. Much like what is used for a portable waste container when dumping an RV and hauling the ugly water to the dump station. Some have a loop at the end that you can drop over a trailer hitch ball.

Awesome to see you guys back at it again conquering the sketchzones from hell. 🔥🕳️🔥 Stay safe men... looking forward to the next one.

Nice looking collection. I’m really impressed with how that buzzer came out.

Fantastic mine,everything about it.Massive vein pitching into the depths.Have to finish out that dry gangway someday,probably went for miles! Always great to see Frank!

That is a lot of tunneling throughout appalachian, people make a living in those working long time ago, they worked hard as any kind of mining, coal is treacherous! Thank for sharing!

Really cool guys. Where is this location? I work in Quarry, the Old Popples in Laflin and we dig up Gangways lot of times

I love this channel. Thank you.

I must have the explorer jean in me because I couldn't stay out when I found a place like this! I found a lot of places in Pennsylvania to explore when I lived there. Kinda like lived in the oil capital, around Oil city, PA. Thanks for the memories guys. I am kinda too old for exploring now.

I'm Always Hoping they Find either an Old stash of Gold...or an Unknown Creature. Or Better yet, an Unknown Creature guarding an Old Stash of Gold....

I love watching these videos and your explanation about the things you encounter.

I'm gonna look into some full body self containment suit so we can send you into some of those really nasty mucky spots that we all wanna know WHATS BACK THERE!!! Lol, awesome video man!

All right ....can hear you phil🎉🎉

The lightbulb you discovered IS a clue that the ceiling was electric wired , 🤓 once again - nice Video ! Thank you !

Just by the size and stability of that muleway/manway, I knew this was going to be a big one. That vein is absolutely massive. Hell yeah ⛏️🪨🤘

Fab vid guys thanks from not so sunny england

What a way to make a living. They literally have offices down there. I'm willing to bet a lot of those men felt more at home there than above ground.

Very Cool 😎 the person that wrote the date on the wall might see this video, From: Scranton, Pennsylvania

That's probably where they stored explosives

that giant coal vein might be part of the mammout vien that you can see on the pioneer tunnel tour in ashland

Some of those mines in Hot springs Arkansas produce some of the best sharpening stones in the world. Just a point of interest.

What's the weirdness on the screen at 1:11?

What’s is blurred out at the beginning?

Great size opening to get in and the huge size of those timbers holding the roof in place ! They built some nice walls and rooms ! Decent size mine to get around in , one of the better ones you've shown us so far ! Thanks and stay safe !! Have you ever toured the Lansford Pa mine ? I saw a thing on the news the other day, looked really interesting !!

Why censored that portal

Educated people never go under unsupported roof

great explore , !

What did you cover up with pixels early in this video?

Great content...

A little confused, what was blurred out when you turned back to look up the tunnel?

Looks like a 55 gallon barrel on blocks. Gas possibly? I'd like to know as well.

This is how i know its saturday lol

What gets me is how much coal they left behind. Also, it would be nifty if someone could figure out how to use that red (orange) discharge.

Cool what kind of land marks do u use to find Ur way out of these mines? Did u ever get lost?

Good video

It sucks that those masonry walls will outlast most new buildings today.. ..no tufu construction then..

Just to let you know , there are payfree Handy Apps exist for using Handycameras with night Vision and also thermalcam , discovering a different Heat Inside a wall or Inside a bottom ables to riddle what's behind ... 👷🧔

Obviously there is much dust and mist in the air in such places. Do you ever have that debris get into your nose and mouth? Wondering if it gets in your nose and stops you up from breathing through your nose. Thumbs Up!

Super duper sketchy🎉🎉🎉

In many of your video's, there seems to be A LOT of coal left behind. Does anyone know why that is??

How did they transport the coal ? I see know rails

Old 40 watt 💡

So has that water significantly risen and flooded other sections of the mine or is that a reservoir that the water is meant to collect within? Also this may be a dumb question but was the water pulled out and up or drained down through the piping?

Check beneath the Getty Museum

Who needs level ceilings when you can carve slanted ones through solid rock? The barrel was rum. They got so drunk, they couldn't cut a straight ceiling! (lol) Just kidding. Obviously, the entire "mine" has just tipped over after all these years.

NICE high coal!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever find artifacts?

AT 14:33 your buddy was under what we call a man killer.

Dumbs and trafficking tunnels world wide on the laylines

You are wrong about it being an office

That was a crazy huge coal seam! Thanks for sharing more mine porn⛏️cheers🍻

This video ruined at @1:10 by censorship, Downvoted yet again for making it harder to find these places than it already is.

@1:11 you blotted out the center of the video, what's up with that? 👩 from: Scranton, Pennsylvania

The whole video is useless, I wanna see the pixelated part

The Tunnels of Hell Firstly, their are five main themes to Hell. And each theme can be identified by the walls that you are surrounded by. Furthermore, the first theme of Hell is the Cathedral. And that is the surface. In addition, the next theme of Hell is the Catacombs. And that is an underground bricked bone storage and religious prison area. In addition, the third theme of Hell is the Caves. And they are any kind of cave system that runs down to around 3-4 kilometres deep. In addition, the deeper theme of Hell is the Tunnels. And Hell Tunnels are full of meat and oversized bones. Lastly, the final theme of Hell is the Burning Pits and that is where you can find hot lava. Next, in the movie called "The Decent" the cave explorers enter the Tunnels of Hell. And down their are the Dragon Worms and the Dragon Kin. Furthermore, the Tunnels of Hell are very simple to explain. For example, when a person falls down in to Hell Caves or Tunnels they sometimes can not get back out. Therefore, when your stuck in Hell you can eat dirt and mud. And that actually grows us until we are 1-10 tonne in body weight. We also look like a Dragon at 5-10 tonne. Therefore, when we die in Hell we leave behind 1-10 tonne of meat. We also reproduce at these heavy body weights and produce some really strange looking dependants called Dragon Kin.
