EP14 - Removing the Air Plunger

Ok... so this isn't the best video we've done. Also, part of this video chronologically out of order. There just wasn't enough of the vent shaft to warrant its own episode. But, its a really important piece of the project. The project of opening the vent shaft lasted MONTHS. Between months of part-time jackhammering and months of mud removal, it was a HUGE deal. Cleaning the vent shaft needed to be done before we did the salvaging for two reasons: One, needed a way to bring in alternate air. Two, and more important, an escape for the salvagers in case there was a fire and they couldn't exit through the main door. Also, we added a bit of footage of media blasting which technically happened after the salvage but doesn't really belong in any other video. I'll let the video speak for itself here. :-) Be a (literal) part of the project! Have your name in the silo as a contributor! Merchandise!
