My husband has been an underground miner for over 35 years. He said as long as he was getting paid and there was no management down there to F things up he would be fine.

It must take a particular kind of person to work a mine in the first place. I've visited Carlsbad Caverns a couple of times. Though beautiful and large, the urge to, I don't know, run, scratch my eyes out..hits me before we reach bottom - this, knowing there is an immediate way out.

I read that the escape shaft will not accommodate anyone with a waist size greater than 35”. I am not sure how much exercise the miners are going to get down there over the next four months if they just sit around playing dominoes, so this may be a problem.
