Описание: #wellingtonpitdisaster #truecrimedocumentary #miningdisaster #1910miningdisater

In 1910, the Wellington Pit in Whitehaven, England, extended more than six miles beneath the Irish Sea, making it one of the most dangerous coal mines in Britain. When an underground explosion triggered a fire deep inside the main haulage road, 136 men and boys were trapped with only one route of escape.

This video tells the full story of the Wellington Pit disaster: how the mine was built, why it was so perilous, what happened on the night of May 11, 1910, and how rescue efforts failed as heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide overtook the workings.
