I AM a coal miner, and I'm proud of that. Regards from upper silesia coal mine foreman.
The crazy thing is that it seems to be still like that in the African continent
My Grandad was a Coal Miner! ⛏ It was a Hell of a Job Down the Pit! ⛏️
No doubt it was. My ancestors on my dad's paternal side were coalminers. My 3x gt grandfather worked in the pits for at least 55 years. I don't know how they did it working in back breaking conditions little light for up to 16 hours a day.
im learning about coal mine in school
What have you learned so far? Have you been shown coal and where it comes from?
Great documentary thankyoi ❤❤ God bless all miners past and present far and wide
Wow! Thanks for this! All very interesting!
imagine watching this video for WH2
couldn't be me
10/10 video
I searched on CZcams cause I'm reading Germinal by Zola, and this video popped up.
I felt their words
Great video.Did any of the land owners actually work down the mines themselves?
No chance!
@@kennybb2498 It did sometimes happen however.A distant relative of mine who owned land and a coal mine ,lost eveything ,land title etc.,when he fought on the wrong side,and his son had to resort to working down the mine just to survive.
need all of this information for school
Rather crude and dodgy discriptions I'm afraid,
Fascinating than you, more history of 'ordinary' people please.
Nice msg 👍
Women were eventually banned from working in the mines, the reason? Many did it topless, and that is just obscene!
Do you guys like Radiohead
So this guy aint blinking in one eye, how does he sleep??
Fake eye
The gas must have gone to his head ; best job he's ever had ????
Why didn’t they just leave the doors open
The doors protected the rest of the mine if methane exploded.
As pumps to move water got better, mines went deeper and larger. So the air which previously circulated through natural convection had to do more work. Two shafts meant fresh air went down one shaft and hot dusty air up the other. In order to ensure the air circulation went to all parts of the mine, it was led and conducted through the tunnels by air doors, which stopped it going the wrong way, if you left a door open the air wouldn't go where you wanted, and would take the quickest route, leaving the miners inbye without air
So it was a crucial job. Women and girls were not employed in the northern coalfield but boys usually started on these doors at 6 years old.
I clicked on this thinking it was a high school project
Hurrying coal miners worked there naked Not now, during centuries. Because of 90 % humidity and 45 degreesof celsium
We still like to work naked, when EHS don't look.
White privalege?
Britain's industrialisation for 200 years was premised upon its de industrialized in india. They looted raw materials like coal and cotton from india and Africa and produced Textile and steel in factories of Manchester and Lancashire. There is no cotton or coal reserves in uk. India is largest producer of cotton and among top 5 coal reserves countries.
Plenty of coal in uk
Yeah because they stole the coal from india, stuck it in the ground and got kids to mine it for a laugh
@@DO-mw6ju lol
The UK is full of coal.
Most of Wales, Scotland and the county of Yorkshire England, Yorkshire being the largest English county all sit on top of coal seams.
Cornwall was famous for Tin mining dating back to the Roman era.
