I’ve no experience in mining but I very suspicious that most of the things that go wrong are written into a script by the producers of this show. No one who is series about running an operation would allow these things to happen. Something breaks, no repair parts, lots of down time. People don’t do preventive maintenance. Just too stupid to be anything other than a script to bring a sense of drama into the show.
