Mountaineer Spotted Tiny Rails on a Sheer Face, Tracked Them In—and Went White with Fear!
Seasoned climber Albert Hayes made a shocking discovery while scaling a remote Rocky Mountains peak when a handhold collapsed, exposing a corroded iron rail embedded in the cliff. Along with his climbing partner, Sarah, he followed the narrow track into a hidden, ice-cold tunnel carved deep inside the mountain. Inside, they found decaying supports, abandoned mining tools, and signs of a sudden evacuation from a long-forgotten operation.
The passage opened into a vast chamber containing a massive rusted winch and a wooden crate leaking glistening crystals. Realizing the danger, Albert immediately called for emergency response. Authorities later confirmed the box contained unstable 19th-century dynamite, its nitroglycerin crystallized and highly explosive. Determined too dangerous to remove, the abandoned coal mine was deliberately collapsed, permanently sealing the deadly relic within the mountain.
