Argonaut Mine Disaster – Ephemera
Argonaut Mine Disaster – Ephemera
On August 27, 1922 a fire ensued in the Argonaut Mine that trapped 47 miners a mile underground. Over a span of 26 days the lives of everyone in Jackson, California would change forever. What effect does this 95 year old disaster still have on the community of Jackson today?
good old ac, amador county
They cannot blame him just because he was missing. How would he get out if there are other people above ground, they would see him.
People please google " Mt Mulligan mine disaster" , tragic event in Australia’s mining history.
How do they predict that it would take 7 days to rescue them? How long did it take to get there?
Is there a part 1?
it’s so weird to see my town on camera
Never seen a miner without shirts
HOSES WITH AIR? EVEN IM NOT THAT DUMB
I did a lot of research, and never came across people blaming a miner for a fire, never. These people are deplorable!!
Re Fessel…I read his son said , it wasn’t his body they recovered the next year. The body was way too big…is this still in question? and if so…can DNA answer the mystery?
Great great piece!
I saw this and thought, I didn’t know there were coal mines in California and then, it’s not a coal mine. How could there be an uncontrolled fire in a non-coal mine, there is timbering, but no methane or coal dust.
So only 2 lived?
My Grandpa Steve Pasalich "Scepo Pasajlic" was one of three men that survived the Disaster. He was a skip Tender.
Why is there no part 1 in your video section?
3 years late! Very well done!!
That would be cool if there was an actual VIDEO
Maybe he was exploring, finding a way out
Awesome video..Thank you.
“I only agreed with them to civil… I don’t have to be!”
“Finally some good news, they’re sending free whisky!”
Awe you fooled me when you said they were rescued, than all the sudden you said they were dead. The way you were speaking had me believing they were still alive🥵🥵
