Firefighters rescued a teenage boy after he fell into an abandoned missile silo in Colorado, authorities said.
On Wednesday, crews from multiple fire stations in Arapahoe county worked to rescue the teenager who accidentally fell approximately 40 to 50 feet into the silo shortly before 4pm, local outlets reported.
In a statement to 9News, Brian Willie, a spokesperson for South Metro Fire Rescue, said two teenagers and an adult were on top of the silo when one of the teenagers fell in. According to SMFR, the teenager fell into water but was not completely submerged because of its shallow depth.
On a post on Facebook, Sable Altura Fire Rescue, which assisted with the rescue mission, said the silo was believed to be an exhaust vent tunnel of a decommissioned Titan missile facility.
