Incident report
October 10, 1981 On Saturday, October 10, a family group of four including a four month old baby, was trapped in Lost World Caverns in Lewisburg, West Virginia, when the electric light system failed. A circuit breaker failed but light was not restarted for 45 minutes until another visitor reported it. The group suffered "cold feet and fear."
Analysis: They certainly got their money's worth - a real wilderness experience
