What Happens in Coober Pedy

Tom Scott went to Coober Pedy, Australia, the mining town that is so hot that people live in underground homes. He was going to explain to us how people managed in an environment that was so harsh, isolated, and expensive. There, Scott ran into a conundrum that he hadn't encountered before. The people in Coober Pedy contradicted much of the research he had done before the visit. Here, he explains everything that happened, because he doesn't want to give false information, yet he does want to explain Coober Pedy. In case you're concerned, the video is only eight minutes long; the rest is an ad.
