I heard something about it a while back. I just wonder what all they will show lol. I 'heard' they are filming at a mine called Double Bonus, and if there i any truth to that, some of my equipment will be on it lol. I sold them stuff early last year. But like I said, thats just what I heard, I dunno what the deal is. I just hope they really get into it. One show I saw on coal mining was I think Dirty Jobs and it was a joke. They used some anthracite mine in PA that used equipment from the early 1900s. Now if they really go into it and show what modern coal mining is like, it will be interesting and cool to see, especially if they go to a major production mine like DB is, not a little pansy mine. It just will come down to production value like any other show I guess. Ahh i love watching mining equipment at work, if they can show that to a T it will be cool
Or showing a pillar section, that would be pretty cool. I was on one a while back and would have killed to had a video camera. You can watch the break coming down literally within a couple feet if they do it right, and can stand 20 feet back and hear it cracking, cracking, cracking, then all of the sudden BOOM the roof comes down right up from you
Lol I dont guess anyone else here gets the power boner I do from it. So cool watching from the other side of the break when a big miner comes eatting its way through the wall toward you. So much noise, so much sheer power, so much boner. It really takes a man to pick it up and do it. No chickenshits or pussies allowed. Maybe i'll get lucky and the show will be good. I dont watch a lot of TV right now
Call me a redneck or whatever rofl, but I love equipment and machinery, underground or not. Monster heavy machinery is fun to watch
