Mining is a very dangerous way to earn a living. I could never do it myself because of the dangers they present to the workers, and the compensation doesn't even come close to being worth it.
The Mystery of Blind Frog Ranch, a TV series where they are searching for 3 + billion of gold believed to be located in the mine tunnel systems created by the Incas who were supposedly hiding their gold from the Spanish Conquistadors, are under their ranch.
When they go into these mines it's hard for me to watch, and even for a possible 3 billion pay day, I wouldn't venture into them at all.
For me, there i sno amount that would gt me in to those mies which are long, and old and in my opinion are ready to collapse in on themselves. Not worth it to me. 😁🤙
It's too much risk. If I knew for sure that death would be almost instanteous, that would be one thing, but being trapped for 2 months as was the case of the minning collapse in Chile in 2010 that trapped 33 miners, and only one was finally resuced after drilling a verticle shaft down 2, and used a cage that that was just a little bit smaller than the shaft, is my biggest fears. Especially when the cage got hung up about halfway up in that tiny sjaft, but was finally resolved, though I can't really remember how long that took. I stopped watching the movie at that point, for just seeing it, is enough to stop watching right there. I can't imagine the emoional trauma I would face actually expereincing it. I panicj quicly in enclosed situations. An elevator is alright, but if it is crowded with no room to manuever I would most likely lose it completely.
I remember that girl that was jidnapped and was buried undergrounf with ai being supplied. I had nightmares for weeks after that.
But fortunately, California has been preserving non-indigeonous smelt in the Delta...
