I used to work for the company that made the "crusher feeder breaker" that the narrator in the above link speaks of.

There also one or more mines of this type in the New Iberia, Avery Island area of La. One is gone though.. Remember when an oil exploration Co. was drilling in the bottom of a lake in La. & drilled into a mine? What a mess.
