Kopalnia Wujek

The Pacification of Wujek was a strike-breaking action by the Polish police and army at the Wujek Coal Mine in Katowice, Poland, culminating in the massacre of nine striking miners on December 16, 1981.
It was part of a large-scale action aimed to break the Solidarity free trade union after the introduction of martial law in Poland in 1981. The pacification was technically successful; however, in a longer term, it turned out to be a milestone towards the collapse of the authoritarian system in Poland and, ultimately, to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc.

On June 1, 2007, more than two decades after the incident, 15 former members of the special platoon were sentenced to prison terms for their part in the killings.

[Camera Shy]

Visited this place on a trip to Budapest with Host, we were led to believe it was a mothballed plant but on arrival it wasn't - it was in use and was a permission job so i'm not posting as a report, made for some nice images though but i'll just post a sample....

Motherload's Upper Limits.

Upper Limits is fucking insane. It's 60m deep, comprising 4 Energy Dissipating Vortex Drop Shafts, to dispel the energy gained from CSO discharge dropping into the Motherload. Don't mention the fact I nearly dropped myself down the shaft immediately upon entering...​
