Miners, #1 and #2 hosted a cookout with beer in our Shop parking lot after work hours. Seemingly distraught over a car backing accident, Miner #1 climbed down a highwall of an adjacent sand pit full of water, with Miner #2 following and explaining everything would be okay. Miner #1 went into the water and Miner #2 followed in after them. Both drowned.
