Those of you who had relatives who worked at the Bonne Terre Mines may want to watch for this. Discovery Channel films at Bonne Terre Mine Thursday - Dec 03, 2009 - Daily Journal -- The world’s largest freshwater dive resort in Bonne Terre Mine will be featured in “Life After People - Episode 9” which airs on the Discovery channel. The film shoot was Tuesday at the mine. “Life After People” examines how “man’s majesty over nature has always been an illusion” and what it will be like when man no longer exists on earth. One place on the globe this has happened is Bonne Terre Mine. Once the largest lead mine in the world and the largest man made caverns in the world, it now lies dormant as a time capsule into history. When the pumps were shut off in the 500 plus feet deep mine it began to fill with natural spring water. Now when you enter the mine you get an eerie feeling as the only noises you hear are the occasional tour guides taking you back into history and the air bubbles from the scuba divers from around the globe. These days the only people visiting the mine are those who wish to go back into history. Discovery’s “Life after People” will examine and focus on what life is like at Bonne Terre Mine then and now. Interviewees will include Mark Eberhart from the Colorado School of Mines and Doug and Catherine Goergens, owners and developers of the largest freshwater dive resort in the world, Bonne Terre Mines “Billion Gallon Lake Resort”.
