One person has died and 23 others have been rescued after a lift malfunctioned at a disused Colorado gold mine.
Two groups of 12 people were touring Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine in Cripple Creek, a privately owned tourist attraction, when the failure occurred on Thursday, leaving one group stuck below ground for six hours.
In the first group, one person died while the remaining 11 tourists, including two children, were rescued from the mine, four of them with minor injuries.
The second group of 12 were stranded in a tunnel at the bottom of the mine but all were returned to safety later in the day.
