Just finished Part 1, and didn't start watching til about 9:30,
just as he's starting down the shaft. sSig_aaarggh.gif

As he dropped deeper, anxiety kicked in and I found myself
almost moving with him..legs reaching for those rock ledges
(like when you're in the passenger seat and still you hit the
brakes.lol). I started to get the spins right at the end, so
I'm glad they broke it up into two parts.

And that bottom ground looks nasty..dead critters...at least
nobody went hungry.. eating-02.gif

Part 2 is much easier on the vestibular system...8-)

That young man has sure got some brass ones..even at his age
you wouldn't have caught me running around down there.. alone.
Guy was picking up stuff and he had no idea what it was...that rusty
tin with the yellow colored powder in it ...feces could have occurred.. bur2.gif

Not to mention that the guys topside had no idea where he was
down there. If he'd have slipped off into one of those flooded side
shafts, by the time they figured out he was in trouble he'd have
drowned, and they'd be damn lucky to even find his body.

Still, it was entertaining...

Yep ! I'm Not sure Why he had to Rush.
If I had been His age, I would have at Least
Wanted to Carefully Inspect Things.
Not run around like a chicken With it's head Cut Off &
trying to get everything on camera in a limited time.

that looked like a mine worth exploring more.

I don't think they sped the camera up.
If they did, they should have done that during the descent .

It's possible Both the Bucket & Box were deteriorated Dynamite considering it was Mexico.

My Guess there are allot of Bodies to Be found in Mine shafts Even here in PA
did he say 22 Bodies Found in One Mineshaft at the Beginning ? :o
I would think the Smell would give that away

That my friend truly is what we call life experience and when you are his age you think you know everything. Just look at these stupid millenniums thinking that black lives matter is not a communist organization. They don’t care about black lives at all. If they would they would address the fatherless children epidemic in the black community and the astronomical abortion rate of black babies.

Anyway off my soapbox and back to the video. Experience eventually keeps us living longer then those without it.

Cheers
