So fascinating! The medics in a Kentucky mine saved my grandfather's life. When momma was 4 years old her dad, my grandfather lost 3 fingers from the coal cart rolling across them. Momma remembered it like it happened yesterday. I believe it was in 1932 when the accident happened. Momma had just lost her mother a few months prior. Momma said she heard the siren go off in the mine and she had a straight shot view to the mine opening. She said she knew immediately in her heart that it was her daddy. She got really scared and dropped to her little knees and started praying for God not to take her daddy too...when she saw the mantrip come out and her daddy laying on the front she new he was going to be ok. She said he couldn't walk due to loss of blood so the medic in the hole threw him on the front of that mantrip holding his wrapped hand above my grandfather's head because he was to weak to do it himself. The medics in the hole deserve a lot of praise for saving lives. Can't wait for part 2.
Awesome stuff. My grandfather was a mule boy back in 1900s to early 1910s, tough life for a kid. It's great that this history is saved like this, for people like myself and others who has family members that worked in the mines. Thanks Jay for sharing this.👍
Having been in this mine on one of their regular tours, I am amazed at the long version. I thought our tour was fantastic...wow!!! This is so awesome! I can hear such well deserved pride in their voices as they discuss how they rescued this mine. It's like you are in their house, that they restored. I can feel the love, for sure! Can't wait for part 2! Happy and HEALTHY New Year, JP. Hope you continue to recover quickly!
lt is amazing to me that more miiners were not killed ...such a dangerous place to work . Never realized how complicated coal mining is . (especially antracite ) Just having a way to have light underground is mindblowing ....working with candlelight ...hard to imagine . Little ten year old boys working down there ..unbelieveable .What an "eye-opening " tour . Miners are an amazing group of people . Thank you for making us more aware of the dangers they faced ( and still face ) every day .. ...looking forward to Part two .
I learned more than I ever knew while taking this tour. The UGM are doing a fantastic job at preserving and educating everything there is to know about coal mining.
Thanks for the video. Kids now days don't know what hard work is. They have it way too easy. Want top dollar for doing nothing. Keep getting stronger can't wait until we see you again.
So informative and the dedication these guys have in keeping the coal mine history alive is to be commended. I have always had the utmost respect for the coal miners and the work they did and what they endured. This is just a fascinating tour you are taking us on and I can't wait for part 2. Thank you VERY much JP for doing this and sharing!!⚒🔦
Great vid, best one ever. I’ve been working the mines for 30 years, very hard work, even with the modern equipment. J.P I’m surprised the tour operators did not require all the guests to wear Hard Hats and have safety lamps and Rebreathers in case of no fresh air? Glad nothing happened. Looking forward to part 2. I live in mine country in western Pa and wish to thank you for the vids visiting Pittsburgh. You did a great job. I saw more with your vids than I ever saw myself. Mark
Thanks for taking us along on a tour I would probably not get a chance to take myself. It's good to see you back! And happy new year to you and the family 💙
Happy New Year! This video was very interesting, and you are very fortunate to have been on this tour. My grandfather worked in the mines around Wilkes-Barre and now I have a greater understanding of what he did. I am eager to see part 2.
This is my favorite video from you , beside that massive cemetery walk a few months ago. All your work is great, those are my favorite. Now on to part 2
This is the coolest video on coal mines! So great to be able to see all of what goes on in a mine. Amazing! Thank you for sharing! Happy New Year! Hope you all are feeling better!
Hi Jay, happy new year, what a cool tour and better in a way because you are able to walk the tracks and see more. The Underground miners are doing a fantastic job in preserving coal mining history and in preserving Lansford #9. Some very information information about how a coal mine operated back in the day, I can't wait to see Pt 2. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💜
Happy New Year JP. Glad to hear you are doing better! Loved this tour! Thank you again for posting this event! Great footage as usual...i saw things you captured that i missed though. But i saw alot more on this 'walking tour' than the normal one. Born and raised in the area, Im hooked on coal! Thanks again and anticipating part 2! 👍🙏 Hope to go on anther adventure with you again soon!!
That was very interesting and I love learning about the coal mining history. Such dangerous work and I can't believe that kids actually worked in that, amazing! Great video JP, looking forward to Part 2 now!
I was told if you abused a mule you were 'black balled' from working in the mines, you buy mules, miners were hired. Cheaper to replace a miner than a mule!
I feel sad for the mules, never seeing sunlight, breathing in all that dust and poisonous air. They didn't have a choice. So glad they don't abuse mules anymore. I wonder how their eye sight was, being in darkness all the time.
Fun tour! If you want to see what a jack drill looks like in action, here's a link to a vid from the Sierra Silver Mine Tour in Wallace Idaho. The video isn't mine, but I've been on the tour and it's great fun. Link: ua-cam.com/video/FxhGk4ByW-I/v-deo.html
Happy New Year everyone! If you enjoyed Part 1, you won't want to miss Part 2!
hi yeh JP u know who??!!
Happy Healthy And Blessed New Year to you, Jill and Lily.
Can't wait
It was great to have you on our tour! We hope everyone enjoys our work to keep our mining history alive, and can’t do it without all of your support.
Thank you!!!! Please keep us posted of future events, please!!! Good job guys!!!👍👍👍👏

Interesting tour. My great grandparents were West Virginia coal miners.

Hard to imagine a kid having that type of life. The UGM guys do a great job at preserving coal mining history.

Fascinating JP! My grandfather was a coal miner. In a mine in the Johnstown area. He died of, as many did, of black lung.

Good thing we weren't alive in that era as kids.
I really like the coal mining experience, I've seen many of your episodes on this, never gets old love it!
This was a great experience. Part 2 will be even better.

Wow! That is definitely a very dangerous job, I never knew rock dust was that bad for you.
So many dangers involved. Much respect to miners.
Happy New year 🎉 look out for it x
great tour alot great information on the workings of a mine Happy New Year
This is Jerry I was wondering if you are going to have a meet and greet this year?
Awesome video 🚄🚃👍hope you have a better new year 🎆
Same to you
That was so cool thank you that was great very cool history
Thanks for watching
Cool!
So sad how dangerous it was for the workers.
Well this has been a weird day. Watch Ghostbusters: Afterlife twice and go to follow it up with mine videos. Weird...
Dad had a couple carbide lights.
Great video. What was the white on the timbers and walls? Lime or frost?
I believe a type of mold
very interesting
Nice job👍👍
Thanks
Love the videos
Very informative
Cant agree more
Awesome 👍👍👍
Happy new year
Same to you
I remember doing this tour together in I want to say March of 2019 or 2020. This is a great mine to tour. Great video.
That was a fun day
Hello Adam!! Happy new year!
@@coalcrackerchris Happy New Year
Hmmm. A few Mr. Clean magic erasers should do the trick on them walls..lol

I tell you this, I have an all new respect for Miners..Wow. Not a fan of the Mule treatment though.
I was told if you abused a mule you were 'black balled' from working in the mines, you buy mules, miners were hired. Cheaper to replace a miner than a mule!
@@coalcrackerchris Being kept down in a dark mine all its life never to see light if day is Abuse enough.
I feel sad for the mules, never seeing sunlight, breathing in all that dust and poisonous air. They didn't have a choice. So glad they don't abuse mules anymore. I wonder how their eye sight was, being in darkness all the time.
@@wandaswavely2523 i was told they would go crazy if they were brought to the surface. Sunlight would blind them
