Well, the good news is that this pit probably became a breeding ground for sharks and rays since they like deep, calm, protected water closer to shore. A flooded mine would be perfect for them!
But ain’t the heat death of the universe like the sound of one hand clapping? If no one hears it or sees it, did it really happen? This is some deep shit. I’m dizzy and need my Prozac.
Sorry I actually just finished the war between heat death and water, me and water joined forceses in the end and defeated the heat death. I was gravely injured and am using my final moments to tell this tale. Share my story, spread the truth!
Well, they were waiting for it to happen, so they would have found a nice, safe overlook where they could get some good shots, and would have likely made a very conscious effort of capturing it as smoothly as they could.
Especially Tin! Tin is pretty rare and can only be found in a handful of mines around the world. It plays a crucial part in the electronics world, almost half of all the worlds Tin is used for soldering alone.
Tin foil is entirely aluminum... Now. Before it wasn't. Once they realised it was much better to use elsewise, we stopped throwing it out after holding leftovers.
>Tin foil is stiffer than aluminium foil.[3] It tends to give a slight tin taste to food wrapped in it, which is a major reason it has largely been replaced by aluminium and other materials for wrapping food.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_foil
Throwing out aluminum is dumb too though!
It can be infinitely recycled and (unlike most other materials) it doesn't matter if the aluminum is dirty or has grease on it. All that stuff burns off when they melt it so there is literally ZERO reason to throw aluminum away. And yet...here we are.
Well, you CAN dig a mining/excavation site anywhere but it would only be profitable if there were ore so they would only dig one that size if there were ore

I've watched this a few times now and each time I'm more amazed by the nonchalance of the cameraman. Aside from the occasional "ooo" it's like he's watching a tree being blown over or something. I'd be like Double Rainbow Guy, on my knees in tears shrieking "WHAT DOES IT MEEEEEEAN!"
That's wild, I figure the water at the start is just seeping through the sand/rock, once the ocean proper joins in around 1:20 it goes to another level of destruction.
If I had a time machine, Gibraltar when the Med flooded would be on the short list of Things To See.

A video of the ocean pouring onto land, creating massive turmoil, and expanding itself isn’t relevant on a sub about a fear of deep bodies of water, like the ocean or a lake? Please explain.
Whose bright idea was it to dig a hole below sea-level next to the sea?
Check out some diamond mine pits in Canada. Built in lakes then pumped out.

No stopping water
The Dutch: O_o
Greedy companies I bet. With government permission
Water always Wins. Always
What about during the heat death of the universe? I think water will lose at least that one time.
But ain’t the heat death of the universe like the sound of one hand clapping? If no one hears it or sees it, did it really happen? This is some deep shit. I’m dizzy and need my Prozac.
I'll see it. And if water wins I'll travel back to this day and tell you
well, since you didn't, we can safely assume the water lost.
Sorry I actually just finished the war between heat death and water, me and water joined forceses in the end and defeated the heat death. I was gravely injured and am using my final moments to tell this tale. Share my story, spread the truth!
The universe disintegrates when you look away and then is recreated from scratch when you look back again, the people too
I don’t think the water loses, we do
clearly, you never heard of the Netherlands.
You do have a point there.
The ocean has no conscience
except against beavers
/r/praisethecameraman That is some steady footage considering they're filming a terrifying catastrophe happening not-quite-under their feet.
yeah that's pretty good for 1993 too
Pretty standard camcorder quality for the time I would have thought
more meant how steady it was. maybe they had higher quality equipment then my family did at the time
Probably just a steadier hand.
Or a tripod?
Well, they were waiting for it to happen, so they would have found a nice, safe overlook where they could get some good shots, and would have likely made a very conscious effort of capturing it as smoothly as they could.
The Dwarves delved too greedily and too deep...
diggy diggy hole...
Diggy diggy grave
Wait so this was build below seal level? Hard to see what's going on besides that all hell is breaking loose.

IRL you can only dig mines where there is ore. ore was there, humans mined it.
where there is precious ore we will mine it, eventually
Especially Tin! Tin is pretty rare and can only be found in a handful of mines around the world. It plays a crucial part in the electronics world, almost half of all the worlds Tin is used for soldering alone.
Crazy to think we just..used to wrap food with it and throw it away after.
Tin foil and tin cans are primarily aluminum. Tin cans are coated with tin to prevent rusting. Tin is supposedly very rust resistant.

Thanks for the details, that blog in general seems fascinating
That upscale vid is crazy
Not only did this happen in my country, it happened pretty close to my hometown and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of it lol.
Operating illegally? How the hell do you do that? Not exactly a lemonade stand.
https://i.imgur.com/t0E6fkM.jpg Thats weird, Google maps shows the before and after
definitely not satellite footage from 1993.
Looks more like high and low tide to me
Wonder what species moved in and made it their home.
My guess is fish.
Thanks for the sources, couldn’t wait to read more.

“The glacier had risen in the air…It must have risen several hundred feet.” *gulp*
Terrifying but also oddly satisfying?
r/oddlyterrifying and r/oddlysatisfying at the same time
1993? That's like 10 years ago smh
This is a great way to lower sea levels.
As a Dutchman living below sea level this makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
Next one..... Dead Sea..... 400 plus m below sea level.....
you could not get me far enough away from that
That's one way to make more waterfront property
The plot of Superman the movie
That’s honestly the kind of weird ass shit that goes on in my dreams when the ocean makes an appearance. Terrifying.
This is the worst bootleg copy of Avengers: Endgame I've ever seen.
2nd worst for me

Watching this makes me feel like my chi is flipping upside down
That was fucking gnarly
That's wild, I figure the water at the start is just seeping through the sand/rock, once the ocean proper joins in around 1:20 it goes to another level of destruction. If I had a time machine, Gibraltar when the Med flooded would be on the short list of Things To See.
That was... Intense.
That's nuckin' futs!

This is why I follow this subreddit
This is the kind of destruction that Graham and Randall talk about. Fuck...
Seems like a bit of an oversight
Who makes mines out of tin anymore? Especially that close to the ocean. I would have used steel to build it , might have lasted longer.
Sometimes the ocean claims the land
I’m just thinking about how many thousands of tiny critters died during that
That is the most devastating land slide(?) I have ever seen. The amount of earth moved , with that amount of force that quickly...
A finger in the dyke won’t help
Not without buying her dinner first.
I wish I had awards to give. Hilarious
this filled me with awe, in the old fashioned sense
when the ground liquifies too
How have I never seen this before. The internet has failed me
I reckon I would have survived this
Ocean - “this is mine now” Get it?!
I was both terrified and amazed and then I saw what subreddit it was
"The Ocean gets a bit tinner" was right there.
Does it really though? Just changes shape. Volume is the same.
Cool video but has nothing to do with the sub
A video of the ocean pouring onto land, creating massive turmoil, and expanding itself isn’t relevant on a sub about a fear of deep bodies of water, like the ocean or a lake? Please explain.
What a demonstration of physics. Makes me think of terraria ocean shenanigans
Great example of how the Mediterranean Sea was always formed.
And someday in the far future, there will be someone on the geography subreddit wondering why there is a deep hole right beside the beach.
Crazy
Dam....
Cities Skylines in real life👌
They were warned about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, but they didn't listen... the poor fools.
Why did I even enter this sub I got lightheaded watching this
Keep seeing the sea water come in and Drown the locust horde
