I given this picture the title "The Death of Hope."
It took 15 seconds to bring down what stood for over 50 years. A lot of people made a good living thanks to mining in San Manuel (myself included).
There wasn't much celebrating as these landmarks to San Manuel were brought down, there was a lot reminicing and a lot of crying. BHP-Billiton may have taking mining out of San Manuel, but they will never take the heart of a lot of hard working men and women.
San Manuel Lives!
