I don't consider myself claustrophobic, but being down tghere would have me VERY uneasy to say the least. You have larger stones than I my friend!

ya it can be kinda crazy. ive worked at this mine for all most 4 years, but this is one of the first times that i have drove into a mining room by my self. towards the end of the vid i hit the wall on the right. i was trying to steer with my left hold the camera with my right, while bouncing over huge floor heaves. all the while trying not to run over the 4160 volt cable that powers the miner

That's a long way below the surface man!!.


Is that you "mixing it up" before your vid?
