But half way through her life she was hit by depression and intermittently it hurt her for the rest of her life. And a few years before this show, like Vincent, she took her own life.

And in the key scene of the episode - when they bring Vincent to the future... that was me trying to show Bin how glorious she had been in our lives - and how nothing could change that.

And then also to deal with the fact that mental health issues are hard - and the capacity for joy, as I know Bindy did know how much she was loved, is intertwined with the immense difficulty of the illness sometimes...

ALI IMMEDIATELY LIVING UP TO THE BALLDS SUNG ABOUT HER.

Not just closing these death traps, but also doing rescues and recoveries.

I close these deathtraps permanently, with dynamite, C-4, RDX, PETN, and my special homebrew nitroglycerine.

In the last 5 or so years, my teams and I have rescued over 120 people who thought it'd be a good idea to wander into these murder holes and see what great riches they could grab.

Here's a newsflash for anyone entertaining the idiot to go into these dangerous, killer holes: they are abandoned for a reason. The simple reason? There's nothing in there of any value. It's all been removed by the owners and they walked from a dangerous pit usually out in the middle of absolute nowhere.

My teams and I have also recovered 173 bodies in the same time period.

Abandoned mines are a Disneyland of death and dismemberment. Bad air (i.e. CO, CO2, H2S, CH4, etc.), bad water, lethal molds, virii from animal dens, attacks from larger megafauna that have set up housekeeping in these holes in the ground, feet-thick layers of bat guano, Hantavirus, rotted wood, false floors, abject darkness, pits, adits, tunnels, raises and winzes that people march blindly into and find themselves falling for a few hundred feet.

Over the last couple of months, I have rescued 3 family members (mother and daughters) who thought mines were great for a family walkabout. I also recovered the two dead from the same family (father and son) that blindly tumbled down into a shaft over 800' deep.

More recently, I recovered a 10-year-old's body from a mine used by the local kids as a 'hangout'. He had Down's Syndrome and had wandered away from his home over the mine where he used to hang with his buddies.

I recovered his body from under a pile of breakdown, which he triggered only to land on a ledge 300' below the main mine tunnel.

The fall must have been terrifying, only to land at 32'/sec2 on a narrow ledge of rocks that partially blocked the shaft. Unfortunately, the rocks he disturbed on the way down landed on him, crushing him to death. Plus, as a bonus, the rocks that fell to the bottom of the shaft hit old, stagnant water and caused clouds of noxious gasses to evolve rapidly to fill the shaft. My team and I had to go full P-4 containment suits to recover the poor lad.

That mine no longer exists. DuPont Herculene 70% ExtraFast, a few kilos of C-4, and a gallon of nitro closed that worthless pit for perpetuity.

Unfortunately, there are thousands upon thousands of these potential murder-holes left existing in all western US states.

It's a job I'll gladly quit but between people's greed and ignorance, I doubt I'll ever be out of work."
