Incident report

Nine cavers entered the cave via a new elevator, getting off at the Lookout Mountain Caverns level at -420 feet. When they returned three hours later, they were informed by intercom that the elevator was out of order. The natural entrance had been sealed off by construction so a twenty minute wait was necessary for the elevator problems to be corrected.
