Witnesses told police that Taylor Crane tried to jump over the 10-foot-wide shaft of the Cinco Senores mine in Guanajuato state and fell in Friday, said Jose Felix Velazquez, a spokesman for police in San Luis de la Paz, where the mine is located. Felix Velazquez said about 40 searchers have been working on the recovery effort, which has been complicated because the mine is flooded with water that "has a lot of arsenic and lead, and that makes it hard to breath down there." He said Crane was from Pennsylvania, but did not know his hometown. Crane arrived from the nearby tourist haven of San Miguel de Allende with a group that was visiting abandoned mines and haciendas, Felix Velazquez said. |
nah just broken bones, probably nailed his head on the way down, so he died instantly. lucky for him, he didnt survive the fall, and die very slowly with a jagged rock sticking out of his gut. |
We should start charging people for that! If you charge for something, no matter what it is, people will come! We could say, "If you can jump across this hole you win a prize!" Then the fine print would say, "If you fail, the fee you paid will be added to the prize." A 1000 foot hole should be able to hold millions of dumbasses! Think of how much better the world would be!

Yah, but then there are two things that will happen 1. When the hole fills up to around 700 feet people are not going to die any more just get really really hurt. 2. Your going to get some olympic long jumper come along and win the prize. |
