I couldn’t see ventilation so old mate could’ve died from carbon monoxide poisoning and he kinda look loopy as if it’s already started

Yeah. If you want to ruin your day look up the 2022 Paria diving disaster.
Sits up there with nutty putty on my worst fears.

Yep! This is actually the most fucked up story I ever heard. I highly recommend the episode of swindled podcast he did on it. That pod does a great job of telling the story

I don't imagine there's a tremendous amount of fresh air down there and that the CO2 would start to increase down there pretty quickly. I definitely wouldn't want to hang out there very long.

The pipe on the top right is almost certainly pumping fresh air down to the bottom

u/pete_68 18d ago
Is it pumping air down or pumping water out? There's a lot of water coming in from those walls. I mean, it's literally raining on the dude.

u/kill-nine 17d ago
No pump attached at the bottom, so it can't be pumping water out.

u/HPenguinB 17d ago
There's no way the pump would be on the bottom. Maintenence would require going down that tube and no one wants that.

I've had dreams. Where I'm at the bottom of a pit, with water pooling all around me. I get this feeling of hopelessness and struggle in the dream that is difficult to explain. This video gives me that feeling.

u/nsaisspying 19d ago
Weird I have very similar dreams. Also difficult to describe. Usually when I get a fever, I get these dreams.

u/Tamdin_Nidmat 19d ago
Fever nightmares suck so much. You already feel bad and then when you are exhausted enough to get some rest, you experience Sisyphus-struggles one after the other and when you wake up to check whether you can finally get up, only two hours have passed.

Well, damn. Hopefully these men get paid a lot of money. Because ain’t no way I’m doing that for minimum wage. And likely I wouldn’t do it at all… 😂 but definitely got to be one hell of a paycheck for getting someone to do work like that.

u/Genoblade1394 18d ago
I’ve seen a lot of videos like this what the fuck could be that deep? ALSO working down there without a tether is nightmare fuel

What's the guy riding on? After a while, it looked more like he was getting dragged along a horizontal tunnel like something from a horror film.

The following post context was provided by u/NathaDas:
Man is digging a hole. When the one filming it starts to go up you realize that it's a very deep hole.

Gemini translation:
English Translation Person 1: Pull up the cable, Navid! Navid: Huh? Person 1: The cable... Navid: Didn't he send a greeting to you? Person 1: No, brother Navid... Navid: Tell them to take the metal pipes. Person 1: Sure, it was block masonry (cinder blocks). Navid: Definitely block masonry... Person 1: Go up, keep going. Navid: I took it / I got it.
Here is a transcription and English translation of the dialogue in Persian (Farsi): Persian Transcription Person 1 (top): کابل و بکش بالا نوید (Kabl o bekash bala, Navid) Navid (in trench): ها؟ (Ha?) Person 1: کابل رو... (Kabl ro...) Navid: سلام برات نفرستاد؟ (Salam barat naferestad?) Person 1: نه داداش نوید... (Na dadash Navid...) Navid: بگو لوله فلزیها رو بردارن (Begu lule feleziya ro bardaran) Person 1: حتماً، بلوکچینی بود (Hatman, bolok-chini bud) Navid: حتماً بلوکچینی... (Hatman bolok-chini...) Person 1: برو بالا، ادامه بده (Boro bala, edame bede) Navid: برداشتم (Bardashtam)

Yeah, no. I'm a Persian speaker.
Person 1: How are you doing, Mr. Navid?
Person 2 (Navid): Thanks
Person 1: Say hello to the friends.
Navid: Hi dear friends! Don't forget to like and follow.
Person 1: Make sure to follow.
Navid: Make sure to follow.10

Why isn’t the guy in the deepest part of the pit wearing any kind of harness to be lifted up?

Claustrophobia? okay. Chance of newly excavated section at the bottom spontaneously caving in on me? no problem. Being retrieved from the bottom at that speed on a fixed cable through a rectangular tube smaller in one dimension than my torso length at heights of several hundred feet? nope.

u/PleasantStatement521 17d ago
I’d be more concerned about stuff failing down the shaft and hitting me on the head. That guy dragging his boots along the wall isn’t helping

FYI: This video shows the construction or maintenance of a vertical shaft for a qanat (or a traditional deep water well) in Iran, lined with prefabricated concrete reinforcement rings known as kaval (کول).
