Makes open cast or strip mining coal seem better, doesn't it...even ugly as it is to a landscape? Deep coal seams are the reason for tunnel mining, and it is certainly more dangerous. The sites of tunnel mines I've seen are in Kanawha Valley, West Vrigina. Don't hink I could do that kind of close quarters confined space work.
I have often wondered how anyone could do the kind of work, but someone hads to do it.
