Tribute Coal Miners

[Astrodan2600]

I just accidently came across this video. The photo's and song together send a really powerful message. You really should make a film someday. Thank you

[MrAndysoul]

At the end of this video it claims that 100,000 miners lost their lives 1900 to 1970

in britain i have the names of nearly 200,000 miners from just coal not including mineral mining etc it was a very dangerous job

[W8NSVARRL]

@MrAndysoul Yes that is somewhat correct information based on U.S. statistics. I did not include the world. May be a mistake and oversight on my part for mis-clarification. Please accept my apologies for not being more specific. Actually the count is closer to being 131,401 by OSHA and MSHA-(Mine safety and Health Admin) Actual recordable's & statistics. I'm very sorry to learn of so many death you make claim to. Regardless to any facts, one death is one too many.

[W8NSVARRL]

God bless each and everyone of you mining...Your never alone. I'am thinking about you each and if your working and think to yourself..does any one else in the world even know or cares we're down here??? YES! Rest assured you are being thought of and yes, many like myself worry about your working, your life, and your families. May each miner find some comfort in these words. Please pass this message along to your crews at what ever mine your working, Tell them Don W8NSV thinks about ya' all.

@W8NSVARRL SREČNO! GOD BLESS THE MINERS !

[sammygallup]

i like the video, as a miner it does pay a big tribute to those who have lost their lives

[W8NSVARRL]

Thank you kindly, I had Amazing grace as music but the Butt-heads at YouTube said...You can't have that on your video. Anyway, Just wondering where your mining? You can send me a Private message if you wish. Thanks again for the comment. Always appreciated and

remember...you are being thought of while your working, even if you feel alone...your really not.

This verse always comes to mind when I think of miners and their lives-

O timbers from Norway and muscles from Wales,

Be ready for another shift and believe in co-operation,

Though pit-wheels are frowning at old misfortunes

and girders remember disasters of old;

O what is man that coal should be so careless of him,

And what is coal that so much blood should be upon it? Idris Davies Gwalia Deserta IV

I want to thank first the Coal Miners for giving their lives and I thank their families. Please read the video info under Subscribe button. Next, "I thank to fine friends and their inspiration for this video...ulead123 & superglide63" ...."I thank my friends" for support, they saw it first and gave me their opinions on this video. Now I give this to the world.
