Looking for loot in the 15-meter deep tunnel, which burrowed about 50 meters horizontally underground toward the abandoned hacienda residence. Took them years to build. Have to wonder what the treasure was and if anyone will continue the quest.

6 dead in ill-fated Mexican treasure hunt

MEXICO CITY (AP) ? Two people searching for treasure beneath an old Mexican hacienda died in a gas-filled tunnel, and two neighbors and two emergency workers who tried to rescue them also perished, authorities said Tuesday.
"It appears they were looking for some treasure, from the era of the hacienda," said Jose Luis Cruz, a police officer in the central Mexican town of San Jose del Rincon where the deaths occurred. "Its a belief around here. It is said that people have found treasure around there before."

Nice story. Im wondering too why the rescuers perished. Did they try to help look for treasure or just couldnt get out??

Just read about this one. Tragic. Safety is an issue in any work you do. Unfortunately many succumb to the rush/greed of gold/treasure fever without thinking first. What good is wealth if you are not around to enjoy it with family and friends. Feel even worse for the rescuers that died and their families.
