I'm basically just guessing here, but I think a coal deposit or whatever has caught fire and they're basically trying to put it out by just digging away the burning stuff. So yeah, fire mining.
If someone knows better, feel free to correct me.

You're exactly right. Fires are one of the many things that make me want to stay way the hell away from coal mines. The ribs and back (walls) can breathe toxic poo poo on you, the drifts (roadways) can move, I've heard of freaking portals (the opening to the mine)spontaneously closing. Even better is if you're core drilling and hit a void filled methane and it blows sending a huge spear of metal back at you.

I'll work hard rock thank you. At least in hard rock if the earth decides to eat me it'll be a quick slabbing. gently caress coal mining.

Here is a badass mining truck

I work in the industry mostly because it's full of big toys like this



Nothing like reading the MSHA fatalgrams looking for the first haul truck crushing another vehicle parked in one of the huge blind spots those things have of the year. Almost always a supervisor of some sort doing the parking.

If you are able to park near one in such a way that that's possible it's a failure of the site safety system... but also a victory for Darwin

Agreed but it happens way more than it should. Getting trained by an ex-MSHA inspector was interesting and frightening.

On flying and storms, can someone remind me of the name of this air phenomena that's like a fist of cold (I think) air that sort of punches down from the sky towards the ground. I'm trying to explain it to a coworker and can't remember the name. I swear I read about it in this thread. I'd just look it up but stuck using my phone and Google won't load.

He tried to warn us, but KKKillary and Jewtube and Fascistbook and ((((Twitler)))) denied him his god-given voice as declared by Jesus and Ron Paul and the only way to get us to believe was to show us the horrible effects of Soylent Peen and Fl-her-ide.

What's with the (((____)))? I've seen this before and have no clue what it is supposed to mean.

It's something that alt-right people do to imply that people are jewish or that groups/corporations are run by jews. Oh sorry, globalists.

It's a thing that white supremacists do around the names of people who are Jewish, or possibly just that they don't like. It's literally this:



That's really stupid. My head hurts now.

Crowd of about 2M protestors parts like the Red Sea to let an ambulance through.

This is what happens when someone shouts "Car!" during the protest. Joking aside this is awesome.
