Prayers are with the families stranded in the mine 10/10/2024. Also Prayers for Strength & Healing to The Family and Friends of the individual that past away. God Bless.

How does it feel to be back in mother Earth.😅 Mad respect for the people that worked in that back in the day!

[@thecoloradotravelers7212]

It was defiantly interesting to be that far underground and seeing what the miners experienced back in the day.

Who else is here checking this out after what happened on the news?? 10/10/24 👀😬

[@V.Oakley]

Lol... I did, this video was pretty awesome. I hope the people aren't stuck inside that little hoist cage though. I'm hoping they were at least able to get out at the bottom and have some room. 🙏🙏

[@SeanSchwifty]

@@V.Oakley they’re out but at the bottom level 👍 waiting til the lift system gets repaired 🙏

[@dramatyst5661]

Yes

[@christinecooper2112]

We have done this tour twice… That elevator is no joke! I thought about an emergency exit… I wonder if the person was killed by a malfunction of the elevator?

[@bettyesboy]

@@christinecooper2112that’s what it seems like from the reports. The mine looks incredibly safe all things considered, but I couldn’t with my nerves 😬

[@youmongrel]

Thanks for recording all this, now that someone was just killed (and 11 trapped) by an elevator malfunction who knows if this tour will continue...

[@thecoloradotravelers7212]

You’re more than welcome… yes it’s very sad to hear someone died doing this tour. That saddens our heart.

[@208native9]

Wow

[@SeanSchwifty]

Yup-here for this too 😂

[@Mike-01234]

It was the tour guide who was killed not a visitor he fell down the shaft something to do with a door maybe didn't shut the door all the way got jammed. The tour is not going to be shut down shame the Sheriff didn't explain that to the public when it first happened. Have bunch of wild media stories saying how unsafe the tour is when haven't had a fatality in 30 years before this I think that one was a heart attack an elderly person had below ground.

[@Mike-01234]

What is so cool about this mine is you see the same equipment in abandoned mine videos that was in use around the 1890s-1950s still in perfect working operation today in this tour.

[@mitchellmagiera6189]

She really gives a Great informative tour.

[@thecoloradotravelers7212]

Yes she does. Very energetic and informative, one of the best tour guides at the gold mine.
