2150 Feet DownUnder

Nobody knows that there exists a different world out there unless you see by yourself.The nuclear waste pilot plant located in Southeastern New Mexico has underground disposal rooms for nuclear waste mined 2150 feet underground.The US department of energy makes sure that nobody can enter the site without going through their tight security checks.Everybody welcomes you on your first visit to the WIPP site.Welcome Aboard!! Thats what you hear.Everybody is on a mission there.
First you have to undergo a safety training which explains you the rules and regulations observed.For going underground,you have to wear all the safety equipment in the world-safety glasses,emergency respiratory system,torch lights to what not...and then you are on your way.The shaft as they call it takes you underground.I was scared when it kept on going down for almost 10 min.How deep it is !! What if you are all struck there and can never come out.All kinds of thoughts come into your mind.Well finally we were there and atleast one thing is assured you have your feet on the ground and not stuck in middle of nowhere.Its dark and cold out there.People are working.You follow the red signs you go deep into the mine and green ones bring you back.All kind of medical facilities are available in case of emergencies .There are a whole bunch of people out there who come and work daily down there.They have created their own world.We took a whole round of the mine and saw the entire process.But the only thing on my mind was when are we going back.What if something happens and we all r stuck here.You cannot spend yourentire life out there.I wanna go back and stand under the open sky.It feels so great once you are back up.You can feel the air.You need some sort of determination to work down there.Hats off to people who do.But going there was a privilege and not many people get the opportunity to do so.I consider myself lucky.
