Did you know there are as many as 500,000 abandoned mines in the US, but the federal government knows where only 30,000 of them are? Learn about how these places go from money pit to death trap when mine companies simply walk away, in this classic episode.
AI Summary
In this throwback episode, Chuck and Josh dive into the hidden dangers lurking beneath the ground across America—abandoned mines. They explore how there could be up to 500,000 forgotten mines scattered across the U.S., many unmapped and unaccounted for, and discuss the serious physical hazards like cave-ins and drownings as well as environmental nightmares including toxic tailings and radioactive contamination that threaten communities downstream. Along the way, you'll learn about the government's efforts to find and reclaim these dangerous sites, the surprising role bats play in mine remediation, and why you should absolutely stay away if you spot one yourself.
