Dark Tourism?

Since Mr. Trump has decided to open up "clean" coal mines again so we get cheap energy for people and provide jobs for the out-of-work coal miners, a new tourism business is frantically trying to get started before the mines open for digging.

Yes, the ultimate Dark Tourism will provide tours underground in the dark, damp mines that have been out of commission since the coal industry was declared unsafe for humans and failed to keep prices below those for natural gas.

The 3 day adventure begins with a standard tour of the mine including a chance to drive one of those short digging machines.  The last night is spent in the mine so the dark tourist can experience the complete darkness during a simulated coal mine disaster.  Similar to the survival classes, the tourists must survive the night with nothing but a bottle of Perrier and a Clif Bar.

What fun!
