I commend you for honoring those people who died in that mine. We all need to respect eachother. Your videos going through old mines certainly showed how hard and danderous that job is. At the Pequea silver mine they had broken through a well and drown, along with all their mules as well. I believe it was over 90 men killed there. But Thank You Cliff. It was a nice tribute to those men and their famies. DaveyJO

My bf and I are members of Rausch Creek Trailriders which led to watching your videos. There’s many abandoned buildings, machinery, history etc and would like to know more about the history of the property. Ive searched a lot but came up with very little. The Rob you spoke to I believe is the same manager who manages the trail rider business of rausch creek. If not, big coincidence. I appreciate your videos, we love watching.

I remember it like it was yesterday....two uncles helped with the rescue/ recovery. Bless the souls of those lost.

love the respect you showed for the people past and present and the locations you are visiting great work !

Seems every community in coal country no matter what state its in has their own personal story of a mine disaster. I had never heard of this one and ended up googling more info on it. That would have been a terrible way to die. Its good to see they have not been forgotten. Thanks for sharing!

Great history and a reminder of how dangerous mining can be...nice to see that people remember and honor them!

Unfortunately coal mine history is replete with disaster, especially before safety regulations starting soon after the Monongah disaster that killed around 350 miners. Before 1977 a mine didn't have to worry about acid mine drainage which does an incredible amount of damage to the water. The Clean Water Act. I got interested and do a lot of work with a watershed group and the state DEP on mitigation efforts. Glad to see you're interested. There's a lot to learn for the curious. Keep up the good work.

thanks for sharing! was there a mine disaster on the mountain along the gordon nagle trail? think i remember someone telling me about an accident there in the 70's

My dads friend was the only one made it out of that accident alive. I was good friend with his youngest son.

excellent investigation...great find...Western Canada

I was a sophomore in high school in 1977. 2 months after this happened I turned 17

Where is this sign located?

Too bad you weren’t able to get a peek into the pipe that had the water flowing out of it. I was surprised at how flimsy that gate looked on the pipe! I’m also surprised that nobody has cut that gate and crawled through that pipe to explore the mine.

so sad these things happen.

I do work on mine property and have to take msha safety training. At training they sometimes e show a video of the Knox mine disaster. It's where they accidentally mined into the river. There's amazing videos on KZfaq. When they accidentally tapped into the river it made a huge whirlpool of water going into mine. Trying to stop the flooding they threw anything in the whirl pool like railroad cars, schoolbuses, huge rocks etc... all caught on tape. Very interesting video!

Wow how sad that is!!

How many rescue? How many missed? How many died ?

I remember it well...

If it weren’t gated off it would of been cool to have been able to crawl through . Miserable with all that red mine water coming out staining your Snow White skin. Good video none the less. Thanks for all you do it’s appreciated.

That piece of equipment is for pulling out or cars

RIP

Do you know the people that own that land well I do bc it’s my dad he works for the site rite next to it he’s the boss of the mine

There was a similar mine disaster around the same time in Quebec Canada at a ramp gold mine. All the miners died as a swamp on surface drained out into the ramp at a high speed washing down everything including the scoop tram with miners in the bucket trying to escape to surface., no mine accident is a good thing.

Please get a wind screen for your videos.

Watched,na😰😰😰😰

In many ways, you are creating a living memorial to these dead miners. The owners should allow you a bit more latitude.

people are pricks

That was disrespectful filming the memorial services
