The Gold Mine blow out occurred in Silverton, Colorado in August of 2015. It was a huge disaster causing acid mine drainage. This subsurface mine used tunnels which allowed water to leak in which initially caused the blowout. The mining done on this mine was to extract gold and silver. This mining blowout story that caused environmental disaster is very interesting and informative about some negative effects of mines (Gold King Mine Water Was Headed for the Animas, Anyway).
