In a twist ending to [a mine rescue that didn’t captivate the world](http://m.newser.com/story/268923/cops-trapped-man-entered-mine-to-steal-have-sex.html), the four rescuees have been determined to have gone into the mine to steal copper wiring and to join the Mile Low Club. For one of the guys, [it wasn’t his first time stealing copper](https://www.wvnstv.com/local-news/raleigh-county/man-arrested-for-stealing-and-burning-mine-cable/931877765). (It hasn’t been determined if it was his first time having sex.) And in the most surprising aspect of this story, none of it took place in Florida. ---

To be fair, Florida really doesn’t have the geography to allow for mines, or they’d probably be doing this sort of thing there, too. ---

How do these guys find women who are willing to travel deep into a mine to have sex? ---

Arrest warrants have been issued for all 4. They had already issued one for Eddie Williams. Seems like they already were punished by their ordeal but in the mine. They could have easily suffocated in the limited air. I guess the prosecutor wants to make examples of them and discourage other copper thieves.

[Marianna, Florida](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianna,_Florida), has [Florida Caverns State Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Caverns_State_Park). I believe the cave tour is self-guided, if you’re planning to have underground relations in the Sunshine State. You’re welcome.
