The Underground Elevator Disaster

The Underground Elevator Disaster was an accidental mechanical failure of a redstone elevator on the Bestseed server. During the age of Prosperity, there was many incidents of redstone experimentation and this was boosted by the release of the Redstone 1.5 update the previous year. The elevator was designed to take passengers on a tour of the underground cave systems below the city, hoping to possibly build a redstone park. During its first run, The elevator failed and flooded, taking the lives of five villagers on September 4, 2014. The former site of the elevator was left abandoned for several years before it was turned into a memorial for the victims. Domsushi, the designer of the elevator has named it one of the worst accidents on the server. This event spawned the now infamous server phrase "9/4/14 never forget".
