  • @Ms2blackcats i don't know what Alpha, WVA or a stoop is. In Australia they are called stook's and i have already provided you a brief explanation of what they are and how they work in a related youtube clip.

  • @calumnicol By the way no one at Alpha had ever heard the expression stoop and few at Alpha even know what a stump is . Here in WVA it's an old time coal miner's expression. And I'm only 13 years old

  • theres no way in an Australian mine they would have been allowed to stand opposite the cutter head. even filming this happen you would need an Intrinsically Safe video camera with written permits and approvals from the mine engineer, electrical engineer and mine manager.

  • thats a pretty sweet video from this end watchn that baby eat...im a roofbolter up in northern wv

  • pretty cool vid. i am a roof bolter operator for 11 years now in southwest va
