Coal Mining Documentary – The Most Dangerous Job On Earth – Classic History
Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is valued for its energy content, and, since the 1880s, has been widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production. In the United Kingdom and South Africa a coal mine and its structures are a colliery, a coal mine a pit, and the above-ground structures the pit head. In Australia, “colliery” generally refers to an underground coal mine. In the United States “colliery” has been used to describe a coal mine operation but nowadays the word is not commonly used.
Coal mining has had many developments over the recent years, from the early days of men tunnelling, digging and manually extracting the coal on carts, to large open cut and long wall mines. Mining at this scale requires the use of draglines, trucks, conveyors, hydraulic jacks and shearers.
Small-scale mining of surface deposits dates back thousands of years. For example, in Roman Britain, the Romans were exploiting most of the major coalfields by the late 2nd century AD.

Coal Mining is just in our blood in West Virginia & I’m damn Proud to be a Coal Miner’s Daughter ❣R.I.P. Daddy
God bless all the workers in God’s Country
This video funded by the Friends of Coal and Coal Association. Listen to them talk so romantically about strip mining and mountain top removal and how great it is while never mentioning environmental devastation. I lived in WV near a strip mine and it ruined our town
Theyre destroying the natural world, bastards. And depleting our resources for future generations.
Anyone else watching because of a class?
Global Warming caused by CO2 increase is biggest scam on people in history.
MOUNTAIN TOP REMOVAL SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. THAN again, miners and their families have been doormats since day 1.
My grandma grew up in the 40s in a Virginian coal camp. Her father was paid in company scrip, a practice that wasn’t ended till the 50s. In those days, a nuclear power plant job would be a breeze compared to the mines, and “probably” much less dangerous too.
When I get a coal mine card in VA how do I get it a job in there??
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ,Genisis 1/1 !
That is when coal was created .
best job that i ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You would think in this modern era they would stop sending humans down there and send robotics to do the dangerous job
off topic but erosion is the main reason why our weather is crazy,( i was skeptical at first.) . Every year 40 million people are displaced because of desertion. In 2050 there will be no topsoil. I hope they planted treess or grass. Who wants to see the land so bare?
Also, where do they do with the mountains that been raped by coal companies
the most dangerous job i working on an aircraft carrier deck when they are launching
Very good, informative documentary.
Coal is NOT clean.why not use natural gas, if its cheaper?
I know where there’s undiscovered coal
I miss this History channel
“White male privilege”
I once saw a coal mine, the houses of the miners were tiny shacks right next to the coal mine. It didn’t seem like the miners spent much time outside of the mines.

There Are lots of disclaimers out there, but this magic finger +13035788351 help me regain All the coin they took from me
The Bailey mine isn’t in Wayne County Pa, it’s in Greene County Pa (well one of the portals, the other portal is in west Virginia). Source: I’ve worked there

And these are the jobs Republicans want to bring back
The poor drilling and explosives technologies in that era, the advantages of blasting, i.e., fast and effective rock breakage, were fascinating enough to replace the man forced labor-intensive rock excavation methods. Shortly, drilling and blasting became a dominant method to excavate rock mass. The efficiency of the modern drilling and blasting has been rapidly improved due to the advanced technologies of industrial explosives, initiation systems, and drilling machinery. Various kind of industrial explosives enables engineers to apply appropriate explosives to meet the different rock masses and field conditions. The non-electric and the electronic detonators facilitate elaborate blast designs. The advanced rock tools and machinery realize effective and accurate drilling. Indeed, rock blasting still stands as the most cost-effective rock excavation methods with the high acceptability to a wide range of geo-mining conditions. Formulated by analyzing the relationship between uncontrollable
parameters of the over break phenomenon, i.e., geological parameters, and the corresponding over break measurements.
how much is the voice actor banking now? same guy from how is made right?
How do they transport those huge trucks?
5th April 1907…my grandfather who my father was too young to remember…
http://www.welshcoalmines.co.uk/fatalities/dates/1907.html
My grandpa started in the West Virginia coal mines in 1919. He was 10 years old and worked the mines for 30+ years
surface started happening in 1890’s,, but they still all miners worked underground? They didnt care. they couldve saved a lot of lives😤
So, they dont allow growing vegetation or grass, or trees? How is that "reformation?"
very nice
1980’s "i call it star wars technology"
Steel and coal are the reason I live in Appalachia. My family immigrated from Croatia in the mid 1800’s. They mined the coal here in West Central PA for over a century. They may have been hillbillies but I can guarantee you that they were smarter than 90% of the average Joes of modern society. My great grandfather bought an old local school house in 1940, tore it down, then built the house I am in right now with that material. Dug the foundation by hand and laid each stone individually with some help from local folks beforehand. He was a well-versed handy man that honed his craft working underground. Running his own mine with a freakin’ mule to haul out the goods (had to be nice to her or she wouldn’t pull a damn thing, fresh apples and snuff usually got you on her good side, they were notoriously temperamental) He also designed and helped build the local sawmill that saw major success until the Great Recession.
That was pretty much normal practice back then. Working all day long, helping your neighbors, running a local store, growing a garden large enough to feed a family of 5 for the entire winter. Being self sufficient is an incredible amount of work, essentially a full time job outside of your full time job.
Sounds pretty sick and twisted but I really wouldn’t mind if society collapsed and we had to resort to the old fashioned way of life. I can’t stand this modern age of comfort and convenience. Before long there will be a machine to wipe our asses so we don’t have to take our hands off of our damn cell phones for 5 seconds.
If you are able to learn an old skill from your grand folks (growing food, canning, hunting, sewing, carpentry, etc.) do it ASAP. Country folks can survive!
14:25 Why are they wearing Ray-Ban’s?
This looks like a massive human meat grinder!!!!
Or just don’t burn coal
I appreciate you more because of the road I’ve traveled. My story brought me to you, and I wouldn’t revise a word of my past if it led me any where but your door +13035788351
I need this to prepare for going to mine in Minecraft
