I remember taking this tour in about 1963. At that time they had the guests wearing WW2 surplus combat helmets in the mine. The tour guide was one of the old timers who had worked the mine. Remember the gold ore sample which was around for years.
My grand father ran a copper mine in Meyer Arizona. Back in1915 they still used donkeys something my young father hated to see as a child. It was a horrid way to make a living for a young family. My father and three of his brothers were born and lived at the mine site.
Conflicted feelings watching this. I’ve got to assume this is the tour guide that died in the accident. It’s nice that his work and expertise have been documented and preserved but what a sad story. Hopefully any negligence is held accountable
Don't know if true but a comment on another channel said a tour guide got cut in half. Since some people were stuck at the 500 foot level, I am wondering if the cage got hung up half way down and the guide tried to free it up when the accident happened(?) May be a while before we know what happened so just speculating at this point.

Mike is a good guy, love that dude.
Thanks for sharing the tour, that was great to see👍
You are welcome.
Interesting entrance to the mine, I spent 40 years in coal mining. Very nicely filmed.
Wonderful tour Tom.
Thank you.
I've taken that tour I would recommend it
That was really interesting. The tour guide had a good sense of humour.
is this the same guide that just died?
@@SHERMA. Oh no! I had not heard about that. I just googled it and the guide’s name is Patrick Weier. It does not look like the guide in the video
@FrigginKlar No that's Mike, he was also our guide when we did that tout earlier this year
I’ve never been down there but I’ve been around there on numerous field trips. May the man who died in the disaster RIP
The lift has a hemi!

What camera was this filmed with? Thank you for the video. We have taken this tour, nice to revisit it. Sad about the tour guide though.

No it was another person.
@@travelingtom923 Aw, that too bad. We had the other guy when we went a few years ago. He was great!
No this is mike. Patrick is who was killed😢
Nope!!! Dont ever assume
Is there any news as to exactly what happened yesterday to the elevator where the visitor was killed?
