Tragic.

Prayers for the families.

Apparently not a cave-in but a blast-powder accident?

(Thanks for the post.)

Yankee boy basin is some of the prettiest scenery on earth. Ouray is deservingly called the Switzerland of the rockies. Prayers for those injured and the families of the dead.

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

Ouray is about 74 miles north of Durango.

The last major mining disaster in Colorado occurred on April 15, 1981, when an explosion killed 15 people at the Mid-Continent Dutch Creek No. 1 Mine near Redstone.

I've got a nephew who works at that mine. He had Sunday off.

He was called out to help in the rescue, however. He said that it was, in fact, a carbon monoxide incident.

The Revenue-Virginius mine is a silver, lead, zinc, copper and gold mine.
