The present entrance to the cave

In the 60s of the last century, in order to accelerate the process of industrialization of the country, countless laborers threw themselves into the vigorous wave of socialist construction. A group of young people took on the task of digging a cave. However, this is not an ordinary engineering operation, but a manpower to dig an underground passage between the steep mountains to hide the military installation in the earth's crust. Because the construction conditions at that time were very simple, there was no modern machinery and equipment, and they had to rely on manpower for blasting and excavation. In the first few months, the project went extremely well. Until one day, they repeat familiar work with high morale and conviction, never expecting that the task will eventually turn into a life-and-death contest.

Due to the complex terrain and the lack of modern equipment, every meter advanced requires a huge effort. In the moments before the accident, 12 heroes operated 3 old-fashioned air compressors, and they were in full swing. Suddenly, the center of the earth began to shake, and in less than 5 seconds. The 12 heroes and the equipment on site disappeared into the dark cavern. After a quarter of an hour, the shift crew entered the cave again, stunned by the scene before them. With the blessing of the miner's lamp, the rough road surface no longer exists, and what catches your eye is a waterhole that is 13 meters long and about 8 meters wide. There were also bursts of bubbling in the water from time to time. The people present at that time were all anxious and knew that something was wrong. Immediate rescue. I connected 3 sections with a 3-meter-long iron pipe, but I didn't go to the end. Two hours after the accident, the ground and the mountain began to slowly collapse, and rescuers had to evacuate the cave. In this way, the 12 lives were forever fixed in this unknown place, and became the eternal souls on the road to the security of the motherland.
