An investigation is underway to determine what caused a tour guide to die and 23 others to be trapped after authorities say an elevator suffered a mechanical problem. The incident happened at Colorado’s Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine. During the rescue mission, trapped tourists were pulled to safety after they were stuck at the halfway point down the elevator shaft. Twelve other people were rescued after being stuck at the bottom of the mine for six hours.

wasn't this in a south park episode
So they knew bout it n didnt say noting someone need to go to jail
All that giltter ain't gold.
Iโve done this tour myself several times, and there was no indication of anything wrong, but the last time I have been there was a few years ago. The elevator uses wooden guides to keep the elevator in line on the way down, and wood I just inherently not going to stay straight, and thus the bumpy ride, so that is totally expected. They also have a backup motor to get the elevator back up in case of a power outage, it an old v8. I wouldโve thought that there must be some sort of fall prevention.
I did the your, donโt remember the cage bouncing off the wallsโฆ..

Stay out, stay alive
What a dump attraction
I dont even want to visit quarry to swim, much less claustrophobic mineshaft.
1:21 whattttt? no way, girls never usually feel that way, wow
Its not a elevator its cage on a steel cable on pulleys ,its a mine shaft,for god sake
All due respect to the sheriff, but that town, and maybe even the county, both depend on the mine's tourist draw for their survival. Can he be counted on to do a thorough investigation? In the press conference he held he came across, to me anyway, as though he was already defending the mine owners. What qualifies him to investigate a mine accident? I hope state or federal mine officials step in before anybody has an opportunity to tamper with the evidence. And I sure hope the kid's family gets a good lawyer. An out-of-town lawyer.
If itโs a mine tour, shouldnโt this be owned by the cities government cuz if then Theyโre the ones who were responsible.
They need Cal OSHA
I am so very very sorry ๐ข๐๐
COME ON MAN oh brother always find some one that gots nothing but complaints most likely a kamalala ding dong voter to, been down that mine often and was always the same year after year , wear and tear does happen when it does someone pays sadly but for these geeks to get on and complain just for the sheer media is what it is these days FAKE ASS PEOPLE with a fake agenda

Geez..in 109 years that mine has only had 2 accidents…think about that people before those that do jump to judgements! This mine produced gold from 1891 until 1961 and still could to this day and well beyond!!!…This Mine is a National Treasure and should be considered a PRIVATE Historic Landmark,so there is no Frderal Government Interference ๐
I live though it
Thereโs NO WAY I would go to a gold mine.
Wow ๐ข that's sad and scary ๐..
Please be careful and stay safe ๐ ๐
And may the man who died RIP. โค ๐ข
Shut it down this is like the one where the boy that got lost in September 1989 in a gold mine these things need to be shut down
Mineshaft was dangerous in Manhattan meat packaging district which was closed by Mayor Ed Koch back in the 80's.
Where is "the mine" Inside Edition?
I have been to cripple creek once it's a neat town! Very sad that the tour guide got killed.
Did they find Gold at least?
I went exploring in a cave once in Indiana with my Dad, the further we walked the narrower it became and I actually experienced some claustrophobia.
Stay out of these small time "rides" . Stay out of mines
Steve do you remember channel 1 news?๐
