S2 E14: The Tragedies Below The Surface

Hundreds of feet below the surface man has toiled for millennia to unearth the hidden treasures our plant has to office. For thousands of years people have stared in the ink black abyss, ready for another day of horrendous heat and claustrophobia.  Lowered down into the bowels of the earth into a confusing labyrinth of tunnels and warrens sometimes Ladened with riches, sometimes ladened with death. Whether it be precious metals like gold and silver or mundane elements like tin and coal humanity has delved below to harness vast mineral deposits that have sometime driven our species to greater hights. This Often dangerous practice has built fortunes and extinguished many lives and today the latter will take centre stage.

 

Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast where we explore the darkest parts of human history. hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. Welcome to the new episode, The Tragedies Below The Surface, yes this really is a podcast episode about mines but hopefully,my dear listeners, you will see past this slightly beige topic and listen to the many tales of death and destruction that you’ve come to expect of this show and this age old human practice has given over the century’s. So without further ado please sit back and relax next to the fire for more dark history.
