This is true. This is true because It has been confirmed (on their website) Mollie Kathleen Mine themselves, the company that performs the tours. There are also many other articles by Today, CBS, BBC and local news like The Colorado Sun confirming the accident.

Answer 3

This is a fact. The numbers in each article about how many were injured(4), how many were rescued(23), and how many died(1), were identical across the 3 articles I looked at. These articles were CNN, Fox News, and the provided NBC article.  The rest of the information provided in the articles comes from the mines website , and a press interview that the Teller County Sheriff, Jason Mikesell did. As of now there is no cause yet, still under investigation, but it is mentioned in the CNN article that it is believed to be a mechanical issue. So yes, this is a true claim
