My stepmother's dad died in the 1956 explosion. He was injured near the surface and was burnt bad, died a few days after. I have heard tons of stories, even from people working in Joggins and Maccan which were even scarier mines because of very low ceilings. It is very interesting to just sit at a table with someone and hear the stories, just like a war veteran.
It's funny to run across this video, I live around the corner from the mine and I have never been down the mines, it's nice to see this video so now I know what to expect...the tour guide is my neighbor...lol...pretty kool!!! Thanx for posting..!
Nice Video. Wasnt expecting ot find this but was informative. My great Uncle was the last body taken out of the mine during the 'bump' in 1958. His name was Harry O'Brien.
There was a song about the1956 Explosion does anyone have the lyrics
