Caver rescue

They were lost in the one-way, two-mile cave where you spend most of the time on your belly squeezing through narrow openings (sounds wonderfully claustrophobic) and glad to be rescued. Why, they’d even do it again! But, next time, not at the taxpayer’s expense, we can hope.

Lost in a cave

Posted on October 14, 2007 | Comments Off on Lost in a cave

Austin and Travis County emergency medical teams have enlisted the help of experienced spelunkers in searching Airman’s Cave, a 12,000 foot underground complex of tight squeezes near Barton Creek for three lost cavers who did not report in at midnight Saturday as expected.

UPDATE: Make that four lost cavers–three female, one male–possibly University of Texas students. More here. Photos and some history of Airman’s, and why it’s called that.

MORE: What was lost has now been found, and they were three, not four, afterall.
