It’s a bad deal for sure. There are lots of old wells that have the round concrete shoring. Most of them are dry and you could only fit two normal size people or one Sexsquatch in them, 32-36” diameter I would guess. The cistern is usually an above ground water capture/storage, but the one these folks were in was buried. It was out in the middle of a corn crop from I could tell in photos. That being said, I assume the farmers and old land owner new about it or they would likely have run a tractor or some sort of heavy equipment into it. The mouth of it isn’t but about 2’ if that. If I were a betting man I would guess it was put there to be able to irrigate crops out of as it sounds like it was really large. Most likely it hadn’t been used in a long time. I’m sure different species of animals and vegetation along with the stagnation of the water created the gases. They likely smelled it but didn’t realize what they were smelling. Not a lot of thinking went into their actions from the sounds of it. Sounds more like an emotional reaction that led to their choices. One article I read made it sound like they weren’t supposed to be in that place but I’m not completely sure on that. What I am sure of is nobody won on this trip and we haven’t heard the last about it I’m sure.
