Denver -the Associated Press showed that a tour guide who was killed in a mine before Colorado Gold Mine fell off the crowded elevator and brought tourists to the ground. This obviously did not lock the door closed.

When the elevator fell, the door shook, grabbed the side of the mine, the wizard dropped, dragged away, and finally landed on the elevator, landing at the top of one of the tourists.

Mollie Kathleen Mine, a 46 -year -old Patrick Weier, near the mountain near the mountain near Coloradoadus, Patrick Weier, which includes an AP in responding to the request of public record requests in response to the public record request. In a survey report.

Sheriff's office announced earlier this month that Weier's death was caused by "operator errors", but did not explain what his death or error was. After the accident, the state mining regulatory agency inspected the mine and no problems were found there.

Steve Schafrik, an associate professor of mining engineering at the University of Kentucky at the University of Kentucky, said the elevator will not move if the security system is not set up and runs in the commercial mining business. However, he said that he did not only use travel experience in previous mines.

The surveillance video showed that within a few minutes before his death, Weier brought the tourist group to a double layer, a cage -like elevator lower, thus entering 1,000 feet of the mines. The report from Taylor County Sheriff's Office said, but it was difficult for him to squeeze on him because it was crowded.

The report said that the tourists in the lower part told the investigators that Weier asked them to squeeze more together so that he could be installed inside. A woman suggested that because the people are small, he rides on the upper level of the elevator, but she said he did not respond.

The report said that Well had almost no enough space to reach out to close the door, and he didn't seem to have a fixed lock.

Passengers said within a few seconds when they started to fall, the elevator began to hit the wall of the shaft. WEIER cursed, saying "I can't stop here", the fragments flew to the passengers in the dark. Some people have lost their hard hats and do not have much light. They have to rely on sound to try to find out what happened.

According to the report, about half of the axis, the door opens, bend and bend when scraping along the elevator shaft. Investigators believed that Weier fell after knocking and told the operator to stop the elevator. At first, he was trapped between the axis wall and the elevator that was still moving, and finally fell into the top elevator.

When the elevator suddenly stopped, the group in the compartment said that others were on their car-Weier. His body landed at the top of a woman, and she said she felt suffocated by it.

A woman in the bus was nailed to her bending door until others could release her.

Two women in the top cars decided to climb on a ladder for help. They said that the ladder broke in the process of walking, but all constituted safely.

The accident caused the second group of tourists to fall on the ground of 1,000 feet (305 meters) for several hours, because the authorities worked hard to ensure that the elevator could safely lift them.

No one answered the phone in the mine, and the owner did not reply to the phone message or email. The mine's website said it had been closed until it would be notified separately.

Weier has a 7 -year -old son, from nearby Colorado Victor. Some people traveling with him have donated money to his son and said that his understanding of the history of mining in the region had affected them.
