Situated several hundred feet above sea level, routes through the caves pass along steep cliff edges and over deep ravines like the one Andic tragically fell down.

Several areas include tricky terrain, like rocky pathways without proper fencing or support.

Might make a great location for a corporate retreat

Corporate Retreat would be an awesome punk band name.

I have zero empathy for anyone who is worth more than a billion dollars. Don’t care how they got it.

Don’t care how they got it.

Unethically, probably illegally.

Fast fashion mogul... Kinda translate to slave labor exploiter.

Isak Andic, the 71-year-old fast-fashion mogul from Turkey and Spain, was traversing across the cavernous area of Coves del Salnitre in Montserrat when he "slipped and fell from a 500-foot cliff." His son, who was with him, called emergency services at about 1 pm on Saturday, but Andic died at the scene.

[-] turtle@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

Huh, what are the chances that his son pushed him off to get the inheritance?
