The spaces between the bars are large enough to allow the bats which live inside easy exit for their nightly hunting.

I went to high school with the student who fell down this mine shaft. We were exactly the same age. He would have been 24 right now. It's 300 feet to the bottom and he hit a ledge at 100 feet. I feel the need to put that because wandering around in abandoned mine shaft areas can be potentially dangerous. Also, this happened in 2000, not 2001.

It was a tragedy, but also avoildable. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register. All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
