Damn, faceless. If that's what they must risk to get their diamonds, American capitalism has nothing on them. :)

Hi Faceless,

There are actually several mines in Russia/Siberia so gigantic as this.
Did you know those tracks swirling downward in the mine are infact a very long road leading to the bottom of the mine and is used by trucks whose wheels are 3 meters tall .
