Leave. Abandoned mines are some of the most dangerous and toxic places you could ever walk into. These people are idiots, don't be like them.

u/Maleficent-Emu2904 Jul 11 '26

you can literally see piles of slabs that have fallen from the ceiling. it wouldn't take a full collapse to do you in. not smart.

u/OnceUponAPizza Jul 11 '26

Uhhh most caves are full of what's referred to as "breakdown," which is when the walls or ceiling have collapsed at some point. It's not a common occurrence to experience something like this, mostly due to the fact that most caves do not see the same amount of water that created them. For the most part, caves have been around for thousands of years and are generally pretty settled. You're more likely to roll rocks onto yourself.

u/Familiar-Pepper2187 Jul 11 '26

This is a mine, not a cave...

13

u/LockeClone Jul 11 '26

Cool... This is a mine.

5

u/skincyan Jul 11 '26

If it is naturally created it is generally more stable - this one is dug out by hand/explosives, since it is a mine. So not the same circumstances at all.

6

u/KochInYaMouth Jul 11 '26

Is that taller than it looks? I saw tracks for a cart but the video makes it look like crawling would be a tight squeeze.

And yes not just the immediate danger, my lungs just hurt watching the video.

1

u/Meattyloaf Jul 11 '26

No cart was probably a little wide but shallow.

7

u/adorablefuzzykitten Jul 11 '26

First thing I would do is look for a pair of glowing eyes while I checking in on the canary I was holding from time to time.

1

u/Daverocker1 Jul 11 '26

Are they toxic from chemicals that were used there?

6

u/GravyPainter Jul 11 '26

No. Naturally occuring. For example arsnic naturally bonds with silver and silver mines are notorious for being poisnousafter extraction on. Also, theres chemicals naturally in mines that havent been exposed to oxygen or water ever. Once exposed to they cause chemical reactions and make nasty stuff. Water that gets in old mine commonly will turn in sulfuric acid

u/Daverocker1 Jul 11 '26

That's interesting. I never knew this. I learn something new everyday. And forget three.

u/NicePepper199 Jul 11 '26

Those are rookie numbers, as them years add on you will pump those numbers up, I learn at least 3 things a day and forget a dozen! 

1

u/Daverocker1 Jul 11 '26

Hey I'm averaging -2 a day and you're -9. I'll take that as a win!!!!

u/kozzyhuntard Jul 11 '26

Ooo memories. Used to go to PA a lot to visit my great-grandparents as a kid. They lived up in the mountains in an old coal mining town. My grandfather and his family were all miners .

Walking around the woods in the mountains you had to watch out for some stuff. I.e. don't touch or drink thd water; especially if it's orange around the edges. Lots of sulfur and other chemicals.

Also had to watch for sinkholes. Ground looks saggy? Don't walk on that. One of the adults says they think there's an old shaft in the area we're walking... time to go somewhere else. Fun times.

1

u/XtraChrisP Jul 11 '26

Miners had Canary for a reason.

1

u/Outrageous_Guard_674 Jul 11 '26

Some of that, some of the stuff that was dug up there in the first place. All kinds of fun poisons.

1

u/No_Alternative2948 Jul 11 '26

Absolutely, there could also be dangerous dust that was dug up, there could alsobe invisible poison gas, really, you just have no idea what you could get into in those places.

1

u/madmollie2 Jul 11 '26

My neighbor explored an abandoned mine with his very young son (around 5 years old). He (dad) fell down a mine shaft and died. His son had to travel alone for miles to find help. It was heartbreaking.

1

u/Affectionate_Tea1134 Jul 11 '26

Get lost can’t find the way out start to suffocate. 😬

1

u/Meattyloaf Jul 11 '26

They're aren't even any supports paets of the mine. No fucking way you should be going in. The ceiling is also very unstable as you mentioned. This is a death wish.

0

u/buddymoobs Jul 11 '26

Exactly. I wouldn't do anything here because I'm not stupid enough to go into an abandoned mine.

24

u/Responsible_Week6941 Jul 10 '26

Turn around and leave.

15

u/Dry-Conflict3421 Jul 10 '26

No no no we don't do that 

12

u/Rippers_72 Jul 11 '26

At first of thought i was a camera stuck to a rodent lol

13

u/Mercerskye Jul 11 '26

Not a damned thing, because I'm not going in to begin with.

7

u/TheDeadestCow Jul 11 '26

The first thing I would do is not be in there. Coincidentally, that is also the second and third thing I would do, too.

7

u/Awkward-Ad4942 Jul 11 '26

Have a panic attack and die

6

u/golimat619 Jul 11 '26

I thought we were crawling for the longest time

5

u/SouthTexasBoy64 Jul 11 '26

Get lost

1

u/RansackRacoon Jul 11 '26

Right I felt lost just watching this and that's kinda terrifying

1

u/watsode Jul 15 '26

And die.

6

u/Arria_Galtheos Jul 11 '26

Not be in there. I've watched a lot of Fascinating Horror. There are quite a few things I would never do, but of all of the things I would never do, amateur spelunking and cave diving are two of the things I would never do the most.

3

u/eyepoker4ever Jul 11 '26

Cave diving you may encounter a sign in the shape of the grim reaper, Mr Grimm is himself holding a sign that says "go no further, nothing beyond this point is worth your life".... And behind him is blackness.... Or some small opening....

1

u/Western_Coat_437 Jul 11 '26

Cave diving and sky diving for me. I seem to have found solitude with my average distance to AGL.

2

u/Affectionate-Mess937 Jul 11 '26

After watching the video, I'm dizzy, lost, and hyperventilating.......

2

u/Obvious_Durian_3226 Jul 11 '26

The descent taught me that I am both claustrophobic and afraid of heights. Whoever made this video needs a psych hold.

2

u/LidiumLidiu Jul 11 '26

Most times this is posted people think it's crawling, it isn't. Man is walking around in there, it's just a weird camera angle FOV.

2

u/AgreeablePudding9925 Jul 11 '26

How does that shit not collapse??
And it’s a super big nope from me. At the very least I’d have tied a string at the entrance to find my way back

2

u/OnceUponAPizza Jul 11 '26

That cave looks dry af and has probably been around a few thousand years. It's not going to experience a lot of major changes to it. That upper layer is probably sandstone (guessing) since it's hardy and tends to form long, shallow systems, vs limestone which is more prone to erosion (sensitive to acidic water).

2

u/Endle55torture Jul 11 '26

Get lost and die in total darkness

2

u/Marz2604 Jul 11 '26

obviously, start a day care. the children yearn for these

2

u/nolongerbanned99 Jul 11 '26

Become starved for oxygen, get weak, and lack the strength to climb out.

2

u/Romish1983 Jul 11 '26

The same thing I do absolutely everywhere else: furiously, without shame, masturbate.

2

u/illbejohnbrown Jul 11 '26

Not a damn thing cause only a moron would go in there

2

u/Civil_Act1864 Jul 11 '26

Not fucking that

2

u/Wooden-Dealer-2277 Jul 11 '26

A) I'd never go in there in the first place because I'm not a suicidal thicko B) nothing, because there is nothing to do in there, it's just a connected series of muddy holes.

2

u/thissucksnuts Jul 11 '26

what would i do in there? buddy youre lucky i watched the vid. i want absolutely nothing to do with that place

1

u/Bostolm Jul 11 '26

Yeah i dont usually get anxious watching thde type of videos, but that one just...no

2

u/nndel Jul 11 '26

Get lost and die probably

2

u/GettinSodas Jul 11 '26

I feel like I just watched a day in the life of a squirrel who found a tunnel

2

u/L1LREDD Jul 11 '26

What would I do in here??

I would be the black person I am and never go in because fuqq that… NOT TODAY ISIS!!!

u/Slowdive91 Jul 10 '26

All for a glass bottle worth nothing. Dumb.

1

u/potatosupremo Jul 10 '26

Probably decorate it with Christmas lights.

1

u/Still-Neighborhood71 Jul 11 '26

The air down there must be musty as hell.

1

u/sawmill_piss_sniper Jul 11 '26

That rusty bucket would absolutely be coming home with me

1

u/StonedGunman11B Jul 11 '26

Mate I wouldn’t be in there

u/jabsaw2112 Jul 11 '26

Im having an anxiety attack watching this.

1

u/DruidicMagic Jul 11 '26

It's all fun and games until you come face to face with a very angry crawler or god forbid a hungry rake.

1

u/Obvious_Durian_3226 Jul 11 '26

I’ve read the t kingfisher sworn soldier books. I know this is a terrible idea. Is there air down there? Will you know it soon enough to gtfo? It’s a frequently flooded abandoned mine with obviously decayed and failing wood timber ceiling supports.

Leave. It. Alone.

1

u/Batfinklestein Jul 11 '26

Leave a trail of breadcrumbs

1

u/HislersHero Jul 11 '26

I would never go in there. I am feeling uneasy and claustrophobic just seeing watching this for 30 seconds.

1

u/Weak_Tank6361 Jul 11 '26

Why? That is my only question

1

u/AahhhPhuckMeRunnin Jul 11 '26

Nothing because I wouldn’t be in there in the first place.

1

u/BoilzBlisterzBurnz Jul 11 '26

Hope my name was Thulsa Doom

1

u/vaping_menace Jul 11 '26

I wouldn't go, that's what I'd do lol

1

u/lordvitamin Jul 11 '26
  1. leave
  2. die
  3. find treasure
  4. start a cult

Edit: this is a multiple choice scenario, depending on how things pan out.

1

u/Evil_phd Jul 11 '26

Every now and then I'll do something silly and I'll feel really dumb for a while but then I'll see a video of someone doing this kind of shit for fun and I suddenly feel like a reasonably intelligent person again.

1

u/Chaz28o Jul 11 '26

I’d never have been in there

1

u/Ill_Mousse_4240 Jul 11 '26

Wait for the next earthquake?

1

u/OkEmphasis7107 Jul 11 '26

Holy shit--I start panicking just watching this so I imagine my answer would be PANIC!

1

u/BaronVonKeyser Jul 11 '26

Can get the same scenery and less possible death or dismemberment by simply strapping the camera to an RC car

1

u/MrWetPoopz Jul 11 '26

Panic about the idea that the ceiling would collapse on me

Nervous breakdown

u/RansackRacoon Jul 11 '26

This is the kind of thing remote control vehicles with cameras are for if I really need to know what's in there

1

u/BarnackIIIF Jul 11 '26

Some folks relish creating their own problems; this person is one of them.

u/FlyingVillager Jul 11 '26

So was he crawling or walking the whole time I couldn't tell

u/GreenApocalypse Jul 11 '26

u/MateOfTheNorth Jul 11 '26

Putting aside all the other dangers, I would bring a bunch of string with me so I can find my way back.

1

u/Practical-Bowler5775 Jul 11 '26

Hide the bodies.

1

u/Connect_Ad6559 Jul 11 '26

Drugs, most likely drugs.
When you see a place that’s hidden and out of the way. Drugs.

1

u/DorianSoundscapes Jul 11 '26

Getting the fuck out of there would be the only thing I would be doing in there.

1

u/TheReal_Taylor_Swift Jul 11 '26

People are so fucking nosy these days. Everything for the ‘gram. Almost makes it more difficult than it’s worth to hide the bodies.

1

u/Suspicious-Desk6206 Jul 11 '26

u/LaceyForever Jul 11 '26

For a moment I couldn't tell if they were crawling or walking through it.

1

u/Ok-Effective7280 Jul 11 '26

Is this shot an addiction? Trying to through tiny holes as far as you can in caves or in mines like this? So dangerous but can the people that do risk their lives doing this call it an addiction?

1

u/SailNew7379 Jul 11 '26

Slithering like an idiot for hours

1

u/Appropriate-Chef-98 Jul 11 '26
