While I am no authority on the subject of holes, I'd argue that a borehole is not dug as such, hence any borehole is disqualified from the 'deepest hole dug' contest.
A mine of the crazy deep variety, then, in my book, is more of a tunnel than a hole in the strict sense - hence it, too, is disqualified.
YMMV. :)

"In fact, I had to turn over straight away I couldn’t watch it anymore."
- donavanm 7y agoI dont know the context where ‘reactionary’ is right here. Unsupported holes or trenches are crazy dangerous. Its been a while since ive done construction but 3-4’ deep is where you’ll kill someone. A partial collapse traps the victim and compresses/crushes the thorax or diaphragm. The victim will suffocate before you can extract them, even if theyre only partially buried. I ‘opt in’ to some dangerous activities. A wet 6’ hole is not one Id get in to.
- drharby 7y agoThis is a real example of what I was alluding to. Environmental impact isn't all polar ice caps and methane gas. An unprofessionally dug hole is a LIABILITY. But personally attacking strangers on the internet is acceptable too.
- DonHopkins 7y agoApparently there are also reactionary hole digging trolls.
