Searching For Bodies in a 550 foot deep Mexican Mine Shaft and weird unexplained sounds!

hi everyone Frank Kara welcome to our show and we're going to Mexico so if you see never snows last year we were in quite a few cool places in Mexico my ram I've just heard by myself and ran is just huge shots I went straight down and I couldn't go down cuz i limited rope stuff that just wasn't safe was pretty advanced so I'm gonna go back up so I met Chris Paul and I just got one arm there isn't some of the shows there he's got a lot of climbing experience and there's some research that was Gandhi on the Mexico that was I did some exploring down there his name is gape Romel I'll show you got his clips just a real cool guy he was real keen on doing more rope stuff did Lana didn't have my experience and mines or ropes but just a real neat guy he was in a band for years and years and then real interesting character so we all got together Gabe had his brother in another friend of his so me and Chris went down and we went down this big shaft so we uh we had some technical experience from a guy on a search-and-rescue expert here at Nelson names Chris Armstrong he give us a little bunch of technical information in gear and we went down there we're prepared to go 1,200 feet down some of these real deep shafts in Mexico last year winners up there at Sonoma they found 22 bodies at the bottom of this one in my shop and we're going to this remote place called Rome boulder wrinkles and Gabe's dad is actually a clock there in Mexico he's not Mexican so um so we're going I'll introduce you this guy's a little short clip by him and we're gonna go down this real deep shaft and and the plan was to lower him down all the way to the bottom of this line and get into some of these real deep shafts in Mexico and it's really exciting what we found there most of it's probably mental we don't like dark places that are wet basta for brick [Music] alright guys so I went to the gold mines in Mexico again this time a little bit more prepared but only slightly okay you remember those mine shafts that went straight down my brother dropped a rock and like it's just silence unless it hits the wall and it disappears and then after a while you can hear this big low Rumble anyway sometimes you can't even hear nothing when you drop them it's crazy so I was like I'm going down there so I came back here and bought a bunch of rope 200 feet of professional climbing gear and I borrowed some other rope and climbing gear from my other friend Leroy and I attached them and lower the camera down all you could see was more tunnel going straight down by text another rope store over 400 feet of rope and you can still see nothing but tunnel going straight down so in order to explore those I'll need a lot more than really nice tall highs in Mexico and we're leaving the coastal areas and we're heading up in an interior where the mines are on the way up to Guadalajara you see a big guy lava field there so this was a big volcano somewhere close to here you see all the rock and there's kind of pretty interesting going through it this looks like one of these places that might have beer in it thanks oh I don't see a sign says cerveza oh I bet right beer here they wouldn't sell beer at all grocery store would only even drive in Mexico without a beer I think it might be illegal we got a couple big towns to go through or clintus and guadalajara and they're just big modern towns very actually hard kind of hard driving through they make just one wrong turn and you're going the wrong way so a lot of this big car plants and stuff and this time had a gritty huge plant there so after navigating through the town we're back in the desert day so we're getting a lot closer to the mines and this is where you kind of see a lot more mines in this area was quite arid and dry so uh Gabe wants to climb down one of these big shafts so I think tomorrow which is why a bunch of beard will be up here on service and patrol will be a safety and we'll see if he wants to to climb down the show okay we're gonna see how deep this friggin Shah wanna see how deep the shaft is so we're gonna try this out we've got this hip chains that's pretty deep 100 meters so over 300 feet we're gonna warm some of these big mines where he's got 600 feet of rope we got sick okay rope so we're looking for big shafts I think we're gonna play he dead bodies most everyone always says nope there's dead people above these chefs my friends think I'm gonna be one of those yeah we are we're just getting the crew all together let's go ride up in the back that pickups only a couple minutes to get up to the mines [Laughter] [Music] thanks Mitch never had the orange juice with quail eggs no yeah we just got to say but quail eggs and if they're it's really good now one of the cool things about Mexico you pretty much do whatever that you want there I mean you right in the back of a pickup and drink beer in the back of my pickup yeah so there's laws in some places where you have to write a have a helmet for a motorcycle not many but it's only for the for the driver they could be like four other people on a motorcycle huh so it's kind of what do you see a whole family going back there but you know that's right God you know he's it's like a little you're like a little kid or so I'm just going back you know a time when you actually was you lived in a free country and just do whatever you want so kind of really enjoyed that that's beautiful warm day there so we just don't jump to pick up and all this one with the mines there and uh and we're going up there to check out a bunch of Mines and then we go into that big shaft after we recorded their minds alright got my rope right here oh yeah rigging it up right there for an anchor you know use a pencil rig to lower you down alright okay now we're also going to use a rope grab up in here and that's going to create a three to one for us so we're gonna put another pulley onto this anchor and we're gonna bring the line back through create a three to one to bring you up so we can stop you okay we can lock you off the blue we can control descent I'll be able to sit here and controlled to send you with this yes so we're gonna try to make sure we keep in contact with voice so you to keep in contact all right and you'll call it you're gonna be okay so if he says snow or stop for any reason or you see something you don't like sriracha and then you tie the tail but will more likely just have a set of hands on it and hold on to it and say for us or in search rescue your position is you're the dope on the rope flashing light is up down steady light because I'm gonna have steady light Oh cuz like let's say I get to a drift and I want to swing in we'll do that on audio just yeah just yell without the light yeah yeah then all be audio we have enough rope we have enough saddles here we have enough other pulleys in here something we're gonna go wrong that's gonna rappel down look on to you if you were unconscious eh I put a sling to your harness I'll hook you on me and we're gonna go off alright hi guys I'm here with Frank from exploring abandoned mines and I guess one way to figure out if there's before you go down you don't want to know or you want to know if there's no gas in there right yeah so this I guess is one way to figure it out so we're gonna before we go down we're gonna test to see if there's gas and this is a gas tester it'll actually ignite the gap whatever gas is down there good keep home this is good speed yep all right that's a little fast oh man no this is good I don't know we're gonna have to do hurry up to do something different is this getting twisted say Frank how do i shut this thing we're just sorting out some quote knots and Erlich twists it around it fixes I don't want to see here too long my imagination will go crazy [Music] I'm going down the mineshaft right now I'm gonna be going down 600 feet yeah it's scary I'll admit that I'm doing good Oh just black hole going straight down all right it's getting more spongy swing in the hole just scared that's all I'm good oh let's just look around a little bit just super scary let's look up I should probably change my mind right above now okay that ain't going to change much today you're getting some little notes in here but they're coming up whole things twist today how you doing Beto what do you see there just looking at things up here it's all good they got to stop once in a while to get the coils out of the rope it's all good all right all I feel is scared that's all I am homie a fraction yeah that's that's probably gonna make me more scared but listen to this rocket ball one I'm going down oxygen monitors still good freedom I'm doing good this is deep that's really deep oh this is super scary there's a rope here oh there's a little thread here that looks like silver there scary bouncing we're spinning go this way let's look up again I see a board down there I timber I don't like stopping it would have been nice to be able to go down on my own rope but it's just so much scarier getting let down with other people letting me down I can feel wind that's adrift right there right over there I don't want to go in there go there's another drifter with rope in there but I don't want to go in there I'm just gonna go the full 600 feet down oh they measured it was supposed to be 500 feet I have 600 feet of rope any dirt loose rocks they don't fall this face of the rock actually looks really good so I won't be like I won't be knocking any rocks down like this so let's just drop these rocks [Music] so it's starting to feel like I'm getting close there's that thread still there you can still see light up there oh that's where I was before skip some rocks to drop oh what was that oh there's another place in there oh they're going down fast all right I'm doing a little bit of rubbin on that board look there's a crack there I'm basically free free hanging now drop those rocks let's look in there if we can what's so rap in there see what happens it just goes way too far down this is just super scary look it looks like gold and the rocks right there I don't even know how much farther down I have to go but I was told that the the mine shafts are 1,200 feet down this will cure me of all my goldmine exploring read about now oh look let's turn around and there's no other than our drift goes out that way and some broken or apart let's look up see how far we are I'm getting a little tangled in this thread but I don't think that's a problem Chris can you hear Mary oh you can't hear me Craig cries oh they can't hear me is that the bottom Oh might as well go a blinking light is actually the signal I think that's the bottom hmm I'll be so happy to be on the bottom we're stopped where we stopped oh we're gonna know we're going down look that's the bottom oh yes we're getting close to the bottom smells like something dead smells a little bit fast there's wire here a little bit up there all right come on just get me down to the bone oh that was distinct to run out a rope right about here okay here's the bottom guys here's the bottom this is the bottom there's like looks like animal hair it's a bunch of stuff here like a cable all right Pew bunch of animals here I'm gonna keep pulling down the rope because it stretches at 600 feet congratulations on entering the underworld see you next week cool but she's going on the story to tell a oh yeah I got it that's cool yeah i crumpled it in a ball forever your best bet to get it to go down there [Music] [Music] [Music]

Isn't it dangerous to go without oxygen?

[u/Magnetobama]

The video is interesting and all but that was the wrong person to send down there. Judging from his voice, he was increasingly in fear. Now all went good here but if you panic in such a situation, shit can get real very fast and nobody can help you.

Also why no radio to communicate?

[u/gocast]

I think I've been there before or at least a mine shaft like that. I was at San Luis Potosí it was booming mining town turned ghost town turned tourist town, every building is either a hotel, restaurant or gift shop just about. The mine at one point produced the majority of the worlds silver. I went up the mountain at night with some fellow backpackers to watch a meteor shower and we passed this hole in the ground. I was amazed that there was no fencing whatsoever around the opening. Dropped a rock and tried to count the seconds before I heard it but lost count. Was a bit buzzed. The meteor shower was amazing, looking up at the sky laying among ruins.

you can really hear the fear in his voice but he still commentates through it. Good on him!

[u/BLAHFUK]

Seems super sketchy, couldn't the rope break down rubbing against the rocks?

[u/drogotmyeyeslow]

19:11... wtf was that hissing sound, what living creature that we can tolerate is actually in those depths.. notice how in that small cavern/cave type deal he didn't even peer inside to see what was lurking in the darkness.. omg

[u/_grammer_Natsi]

Where’s part 2?

[u/killeen22]

Any other videos from this channel you would recommend in particular if someone is looking to get into it?

[u/I_Take_Fish_Oil]

Would a walkie talkie not work that far down?
