god bless pennsylvania and for pennsylvanians helping thier West Virginian brothers and sisters unionize in the early 1900s

@WVliberty While unions played a large part in the implementation of safety practices, that is by no means the point of this project. Now that doesn't mean that you are not entitled to that statement, but allow me to put the disclaimer on it that says, it is irrelevant to this video (along with the fact that the purpose of the union is largely outdated, but unions today are just implemented for unreasonable leverage against the ideal practices of capitalism and competitive wages).

[WVliberty]

@SVBerk65 unions are an important part of mining history in this country, some unions suck and some are good just like corporations, the unions are the reason why mines are safer today, i dont know how you can say thats irrelevant to a video thats has to do with mining

That is astonishing that the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act wasn't passed until 1969. I had no idea. I had figured stuff like that had been addressed perhaps a generation prior.

Great work. Thanks.

The news about the Chilean miners reminded me of the Quecreek rescue. I searched for video and found yours. Well done!

It is a mix of two songs. It is some choir singing the Lord's Prayer that I found using google. The second is called "Already Over Pt. 2" by Red on their album End of Silence look it up it is a beautiful song

[SVBerk65]

i disagree, i thought this topic (C&C) was actually pretty easy I am pretty set on my topic for next year

[Breakfastchief]

I really enjoyed this documentary. I just came from the site today...very interesting. Also, who makes the determination between what's contemporary and what's history...(What, is there a certain number of years that have to elapse?)...it happened in the past...so it's history. Thanks for the video.

[SVBerk65]

well actually The National History Day people say that you should do things at 25 years ago.  Also the judge said that history can be defined as a passing of a generation. But I argue that I tied it into history when going into the history of mining.

Any way thank you for the comment
