    Fastest way to use up your knee cartilage. I may just have a weak work ethic, but no benefits could make a job that does this to your body worth it to me. All power to these men for risking themselves to get us these resources I just never could.

    Fucking RESPECT for these People man

    Whereโ€™s the coal? Donald Trump didnโ€™t bring back coal and it will never come back. White middle America is so dumb.

    lol all these miners talking abut how badass and deadly the mine is and they’re all using machine equipment not one actually doing manual labor i was so disappointed especially since they hold themselves to such a high regard " you have to want to work" to push forward on the remote control? okay manly bearded men๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคง

  21. Dan McCorison (Hellwig hollow) on May 11, 2022 at 10:39 pm

    What is a coal miners yearly salary? I work in a iron ore mine. The yearly Salary here is around 80 grand a year. Hats off to all our miners.

  22. HEIL BRAULIO HEIL on May 11, 2022 at 10:40 pm

    Looks like a fun job to me

  23. Mark Davids on May 11, 2022 at 10:41 pm

    Working down those mines is no job for any human being. The faster automation takes the place of men the better.

  24. Yavrik Nor on May 11, 2022 at 10:42 pm

    God bless you, guys!

    Go Donald Trump!!

  27. Boss Anova on May 11, 2022 at 10:43 pm

    LMAO. Coal is not clean or efficient as a source of power. These Trumptards are total morons.

  28. Fairfaxcat on May 11, 2022 at 10:47 pm

    Each and every man there looks like Ohio native, Ben Rothlisberger, who plays quarterback in the National Football League. The ball player looks exactly like the kind of man who could be digging coal. In fact the team the ball player plays for, Steelers, is named after the product, steel, which comes from underground resources. The ball player could easily fit in with the miners and could probably dig coal as well as the rest of them.

  29. goatboycasto on May 11, 2022 at 10:47 pm

    Family members are miners, they all had nice homes, vehicles etcโ€ฆ my dad told me never go down there the money is not worth the risk.. I stayed above ground and make good money working from home..

    Coal is important and now clean burning, safe against global warming. We need coal for electricity period. Go look at a pie chart on how we get electricity.

    My dad ran the shack at Peabody No 9 South where my grandpa was the boss. They called him Budshack. My uncle was a boss at Buckingham Coal’s mine in Glouster. My house is built on recreation land.

    I appreciate what they do, but itโ€™s time to move beyond using polluting fossil fuels like coal.

  45. Jason Campbell on May 11, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    Sure coal fuels America. But it also makes the creek next to my house uninhabitable for anything. Used to run clean all year round . Then they strip and deep mined now no water. The water that does come down is so acidic that rocks crumble when you pick one up. I get that it’s one of the Only low education high paying job left around buy it it still worth it ? Not they way it’s done. Coal can be mined without destroying the environment. But it costs more. And no company in the world cares about anything but maximizing profits. I grew up playing in that creek. No I have o fence along it to protect my kids . Yay coal !

  46. Do You Like My Weiner? on May 11, 2022 at 11:06 pm

    Iโ€™ll drive a motor car as fast as it can go, and not break a sweat. Put me into one of these mining cars and drive toward that entrance and youโ€™d see a grown man cry. Hell no. Not a chance. Iโ€™m not a pussy, at all, but underground? Nope. Not for me.

    Everyone’s sayin that trumps racist, and im like, "he did what he needed to to control the border, and biden’s much more racist, i mean, a few years back, he called blacks dogs

  48. M Roberts on May 11, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    That mine is closed now

  49. VoidWalker 92 on May 11, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    I respect these guys very much. I could never do something mainly with issues of hurting when Im older. Cant imagine most of these guys back and lower body is in good condition by the time theyre 50+ and my biggest hobby in the world is traveling and walking. But again upmost respect theyre mentally stronger than myself.
