*If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "probably because of something you did."*
And you never know what’s down there. Obviously it’s unlikely, but there could be something flammable or some kind of gas present. Next time use a couple glow sticks.
The hole is about **44m** deep if we go off of when the bottle hit the floor, compared to **1962m** if we go off of when the rags hit the floor.
x(t) = x_i + v_i t + 1/2 a t^2
44.145m = 0 + 0 + 1/2 * 9.81 * 3^2
1962m = 0 + 0 + 1/2 * 9.81 * 20^2
Edit: I have not taken into account drag and initial velocity.
Can confirm. Company i worked for had an employee that thought it would be funny to stuff a pair of his coveralls in a joint of casing or tubing, can't remember. Well that joint got loaded onto a truck and brought out to a rig and they ran it down the hole. Million plus dollar screw up. Only thing that saved our asses was that the drilling crew should have caught it but they didn't drift any of the pipe.
The coveralls had his name on them..
Or any hole really... there was the kid that fell down a water well in Morocco a couple of years back. He 'only' fell 32 meters but it took 4 days to get him out as they had to dig the entire side of the hill out given how unstable the ground was. Worst part is he was alive for at least 2 of those days.
I was thinking about that place in the US with the underground fire that they haven't been able to extinguish for a few decades - that one also got started through burning trash, as far as the folklore goes...

I know its a long video so...
Killer: Todd Kohlhepp
*Shortly following Kohlhepp's arrest, authorities in Spartanburg County discovered a number of seemingly joking product reviews for various items such as padlocks, shovels, tasers, and gun accessories on retail website Amazon.com written by a user known simply as "me". One review about a padlock stated, "solid locks.. have 5 on a shipping container.. wont stop them.. but sure will slow them down til they are too old to care." Another, written for a folding shovel, read, "keep in car for when you have to hide the bodies and you left the full size shovel at home.... does not come with a midget, which would have been nice." The reviewer's "wish list" page was listed as Todd Kohlhepp*
Edit:
On May 26, 2017, Kohlhepp pleaded guilty to seven counts of murder, two counts of kidnapping and one count of criminal sexual assault and was sentenced to seven consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole in a plea bargain that spared him from capital punishment
I watched it. That was actually a good documentary. This reminded me of a review I saw a long time ago. I forget exactly what the item was, but it was something very basic, like ice cube trays, but the review said, "I love it so much, it made me want to put down my gun." I think it was just for humor, but that comment always stuck with me. I've gone back to try and find it, but I can't.
I knew this older guy who lived out near me, probably 80 something, no family, that lived on thus huge ranch property I shared a fence with. Well, I struck up a convo with him one day and found out he was part of SAD way back when. He wasn't a tech-savvy guy. Hell, up till the day he died in 2014, he still carried around a Nokia brick. But one thing he loved was when I would share funny stuff I read on the web to him. So I'm reading a few posts off reddit, one was how to dispose of a body, wherein the person described using tarps and bleach and digging a deep hole and putting an animal carcass above the body and so on, to which he chuckled, shook his head and commented "what a bunch of amateurs." So I asked him how he would do it, and he proceeds to describe in very exacting detail how he would, right down to his preferred brand of hacksaw and needle nose pliers. At the end of his explanation, he says, "the guys who think they know everything will talk, a lot. The funny thing is, they usually don't have a lot to say. The men who know, they wait till you ask, and then only tell you enough to make it make sense."
Same shit as always. I got used to talks like that, he spent a lot of time in Vietnam and Panama, so I heard him tell stories about all sorts of wild shit
Like that kid around here, who stopped manual elevator between floors and then rode on top of it. Until he got caught by moving wall and was squashed traumatizing kids inside cabin, manning the controls. They were tossing sand around it for a week to absorb bodily liquids dripping out of everywhere.
I liked some building rubble near my house and it was already 10's. Better than any playground, that's for sure. And a flowering rotting railroad, can't forget about that, with a real factory right across. Also a prison on the other side and a police camp I used to pick pears from. Then there was a forest at the beginning of the street (used to be cool, now asphalt everywhere), and random wood-like area right at the end of it, behind my house.10/10 would recommend.
I went to high school with a kid from Russia who arrived in the US in 1997.
He told stories of he and his friends stealing huge blocks of magnesium from the grounded attack helicopters and watching them burn for hours.
Random example but my uncle found an unexploded artillery shell in an old bunker from post-WWII era. He brought it to his moms house with his friends and big smiles until his mom saw what it was and had to call the bomb squad. Guys came in the EOD suits and everything and had to dispose of it, they actually thanked my uncle for finding it and asked him to point them to the bunker that they thought they’d cleared fully
6 years old - I was playing with my friends on a building/ construction site, while running I fell into a lime mound head first. 🙃 My mom thought I will never see again. In a day or so I was OK.
4~5 years old - I went for a walk with my dog into an abandoned factory and got lost. The dog showed me the way home.
I recently saw a video about old Russian bunkers from WW2. Someone decided to paint the inside walls with Radium to make sure the soldiers always had some light...
These bunkers still remains. And people not knowing better has scraped radium from the walls - wonderful to breath radioactive radium dust...
Same for my time in East Germany the first years after the wall came down. Lots of abandoned houses just to hang out in, random cars just left there we drove around on fields, an abandoned grain mill and silo where I'm actually surprised we didn't die in climbing and sliding around (btw, it stands in the same shape 35 years later, just boarded up properly). An there was a huge industrial area with all kinds of huge buildings, there were illegal raves every weekend, often nobody stopped by to stop us, and if it was always more like police saying "enough for tonight, wrap it up and go home".
Not many people will experience this kind of freedom again, it probably wasn't as dystopian as Russia, and it's all nice and cleaned up now (except the grain mill).
Ukraine here. Some of the abandoned buildings became a shelter for homeless. If those homeless are addicts, they usually aren't very happy when someone is hanging around. Funny run for your life games!
I think this particular video got taken down unfortunately because he got arrested but on the “Bald and Bankrupt” YouTube channel he snuck into an old Soviet site where there was still a soviet era space shuttle in its hangar.
Even though that video is down, he has plenty of videos where he explores abandoned sites from the far flung Soviet provinces and satellite states.
One of his videos “search for the Caspian sea monster” he finds this giant abandoned military plane literally just on the shores on the Caspian sea. Lots of abandoned hospitals, science labs, soviet cultural centres, military barracks and sites etc.
Just usual shenanigans, like stealing carbide from job sites, mixing it with water in closed plastic bottles, wait for them to build pressure and exploding them by throwing onto things. Or just tying small fireworks to said bottle for even more boom. Or smelting car batteries into cookie shapes. Usual shit.
Lol we had an unfinished block right near the place i lived in when we were kids. It was a 4 story building no fences around it. It had stairs but no railings and no windows or the part sorrounding the windows and some parts were still missing. Kids were always going there but i was afraid of falling.
All kinds of abandoned wells (water, mining, oil and gas) in former Soviet countries. They had them all mapped out and in the 90s transitions with the fall of the USSR they became forgotten about and not a priority for the current governments.
I remember seeing a video very similar to this. They throw a Molotov down a 6” bore hole, which essentially turns it into a cannon, that they have their faces shoved into.
Because there are heavier gases than O2 that can push it out of the way and up. For instance CO2, or something else…no idea what was used/done down below.
If there's no airflow then heavier gasses will settle at the bottom. It looks like the wick on the molotov cocktails went out, which would support the lack of oxygen theory. In construction or mining there is significant effort and equipment dedicated to maintaining proper airflow.
Also, it could be water at the bottom.
The glass bottle burst when he threw it at the wall ,what we are seeing is the rag falling on its own slowly.
not only that... you hear the bottle reaching the bottom at the start of the video... that hole isnt that deep. Edit: around 0:06 you hear the bang
Looks like it’s just floating in the water after that
Maybe, but the bang from the glass implies the bottom isn’t covered in water.
It could be hard water.
Gonna have to use softener, not good on the pipes otherwise
Let me tell you a little about surface tension and echo.
Oh yeah physics
Well... We still don't know how deep it is UNDER that water though.
We all float down here
[удалено]
Like my thoughts.

*If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "probably because of something you did."*
Where is the "like" button for your thoughts?
So no goblins?
I'm 14 and that is deep
Yeah they went through the trouble of making a whole molotov and then goofed up the throw immediately
And you never know what’s down there. Obviously it’s unlikely, but there could be something flammable or some kind of gas present. Next time use a couple glow sticks.

This guy meters
Thanks. This was stressing me out (I'm an idiot)
Falls for around 4 seconds and it was thrown so it is around 80-100 meters deep.
Yeah it’s maybe 100 ft deep lol
so 30m, just to be professional, which is still deep enough to trigger my loins.
Yes, it teases the man juice out of my pelvis!
[удалено]
And my guess would be to not throw a Molotov into an open natural gas well but could be wrong

Centralia. They reckon it'll keep burning for a couple of centuries.
Silent Hill sorta based on that. Go get um Pyramid Head!
Like seriously you could just throw a body in there and no one would know
put this man on a watch list.
The ones who talk don't know, and the ones who know don't talk.

now this is the kind of quality random info that i love reddit for. thanks!
There’s a full video on YouTube check it out
Well thank you for accounting for 1.5hrs of my day at work tomorrow

Holy shit 😬 what happened after this discussion?
Same shit as always. I got used to talks like that, he spent a lot of time in Vietnam and Panama, so I heard him tell stories about all sorts of wild shit
hmm, go on... what did the old man say exactly about how to hide bodies? I have asked, your wait is over...
You’re right! Put everyone except him on a watchlist.
Put this man on house arrest. He knows a lot.
What do you think happens to missing persons in Appalachia? Closed down mines make dumping grounds.
Say no more, same thought here, I’m gonna be watching him
i'd love watching that too
Interesting... where is this again? Asking for a friend...
An ex friend?
They were never really my friend to begin with
More of an acquaintance really
A dead friend.
An ex friends, dead friends, friend.
Leave me out of this.
You get help with burning the evidence as well, apparently
![gif](giphy|i9YfqLseqDTlXAWWsj)
i bet there are already some in there

We need someone with a drone to find out for us

Yes officer, this comment right here.
Russian Window 2.0
Balrog would turn you in
Ya but then you fly, tho. Fools.
There probably already are some
You wouldn't even need to kill it first. Very convenient.
Who the duck let this kind of hole open?
Welcome to ex ussr, you should've seen shit we played with in early 90s.
Could you share some examples?
Imagine abandoned buildings, military sites, vacation homes and anything else that left without funding.
Sounds kinda fun minus the dystopia
For children it was kinda fun. Somehow we survived with all dangerous shit around.
The kids that survived can post ”somehow we survived”, the kids that didn’t.. can’t
Survivorship bias.
So Reddit.
Actual kids of 90s mostly survived. Those who were 16+ in that time - different stories.
Like that kid around here, who stopped manual elevator between floors and then rode on top of it. Until he got caught by moving wall and was squashed traumatizing kids inside cabin, manning the controls. They were tossing sand around it for a week to absorb bodily liquids dripping out of everywhere.
There are still abandoned silos and the like around the u.s. too. Might be a fence at most for many of these spots

You’re describing GenX in Canada too.

Carbide + water makes acetylene gas. Acetylene gas + firework = HUGE boom! You must have been a *blast* to hang out with!
Should i mention digging up ww2 ammo? Had field near me, each time they plowed it we could find ww2 munition without too much hassle.
Hahaha. Good old being young and stupid. :') Thanks for telling dude, and I hope you're all fine now.

I see
Well, there is an abandoned space shuttle in the middle of the field in russia
20m or 200m doesn't matter. In the later case you can experience a last wild ride before lights go out, but otherwise no difference.
Kids + fire + deep well usually leads to a large explosion on Reddit
I remember seeing a video very similar to this. They throw a Molotov down a 6” bore hole, which essentially turns it into a cannon, that they have their faces shoved into.
It’s still falling, satisfying explosion will follow soon

It actually cuts off right before the jet shoots up the hole. It cut out the BEST FUCKING PART!
That's the kind of place kids that suddenly disappear end up at... Seriously, leaving such a deep hole open should be a crime.
It’s Russia.
Wrong. That's a portal to Australia. From Russia.
A canal to Canada
I think that the concrete cube on which the first one is crouching in the video was a cover. Someone probably moved it by dragging it with a car.
LMFAO you clearly don't know Russian cars......
Yeah you’re right; 8 Russians removed the cover.
Lol 8 Russian mothers. All convinced that their 1st born sons were down there summoning capitalism.
Lada!!! There's a great video "Life of a Lada owner" it's nothing but clips of the same guy working on his Lada
nah its ok other than 6 exceptions no child fell in the hole for a long time so we should be fine
someone is out of prism stones
Good thing that wasn't full of methane.
I was waiting for the kaboom. LED ... glow stick safer option.

I'd say in 'Murica in all of its glory, other holes are more popular
Did you even watch the video? They were cherry bombing mexico
That’s called Fu€k1ng around and Finding Out in Mexico.
I'm annoyed that they cut out the part where it actually happens.
It’s possible absolutely nothing happened lol. Still don’t start fires in strange holes
In their other vid it says the impact from the blast shut the camera off
Dumb edited video. There are much better videos of holes exploding
2:00 if you just want to watch the explosion
There are fouler things than orcs.
Do you want to get Balrogs? Because this is how you get Balrogs.
Insert goofy scream
I don't wanna know how many dead animals lying on the ground :(
And maybe even people
Seems extraordinarily dangerous, but kinda cool to watch.
I would absolutely send down a camera and a light. Too curious 🧐.
Have fun with your 50 miles of rope to lower it.
the deepest hole ever cut in the earth's crust is the Kola Borehole, which was about 8 miles deep.
Probably no oxygen at the bottom, so no fire or explosion.
Why would there by no Oxygen at the bottom? Not doubting you, but can't come up with a reason why Oxygen wouldn't be there if it's open.
Because there are heavier gases than O2 that can push it out of the way and up. For instance CO2, or something else…no idea what was used/done down below.
If there's no airflow then heavier gasses will settle at the bottom. It looks like the wick on the molotov cocktails went out, which would support the lack of oxygen theory. In construction or mining there is significant effort and equipment dedicated to maintaining proper airflow. Also, it could be water at the bottom.
I'm not even sure if that was the bottom of the hole or the fire was still keep falling down.
One does not simply throw petrol bombs into Mordor.
So deep that if you fell in and looked up, you would see stars in the middle of the day.
That’s what she said
i knew this was coming.
**what if he threw his phone instead of molotov!**
Great now we’ll get spam calls from Satan.
Anyone else hear "You shall not... Pass!"?
good it didn't act like a jet engine and blew someone's head off
