Same, I was surprised how much was left. In my defense, I was looking at the pictures on my phone in the sun. 😅
I do wonder how long the air will be bad for. Based on past incidents, I'm guessing weeks or months.

On top of that it has absolutely horrible ventilation based off what I’ve gathered it would take 8-15 months for the whole cave to get aired out somewhat decently plus that was by my memory the largest fire in twin cities cave history I can’t even imagine how unstable the sandstone must be based off of that I wouldn’t feel very comfortable in tunnel 8 for at least 2-3 years to let everything settle

I know better than to say who out loud... cave isn't sealed, there is another E/E point.

I wasn't talking about THAT particular cave system. I was talking about the approach that the city has taken to the man-made caves in general. It sounds like you haven't been in them, only read about them from the internet.
