Buried Alive. 4 Most Tragic Caving Disasters in Human History

[@a.walters123]

If you have young kids and a wife at home, it’s very selfish to put yourself into unnecessarily risky situations for excitement. Your kids growing up with their parent should take priority above all. This is a statement in general towards all the compilation stories here, not one specifically.

[@kristinwolf1165]

I lost my husband in 1998. He wouldn't heed soft ice signs posted on the lake to caution snowmobiling. He was out on the ice at 3am when I decided to go to sleep to be up with our 4 year old daughter at 8am. I was woke up by the local police to tons of manpower on the lake trying to locate his snowmobile that went through the ice. My husband's actual remains weren't found until the Spring thaw, and was found in the loch system by the utilities company. I was 25 years old in 1998. I agree 100% with you.

I've now watched the Nutty Putty twice and I can't shake that incredible eerie feeling. Sliding into the hole upside down while so tight you can't move in any direction and the body unable to ever move in the direction to even get him back out. I ask myself: especially from the rescue workers' point of view: what does it feel like knowing the man is basically already dead and this will be his tomb.

[@evilswissy]

do you think it's something you want to feel you fool. why would you ask such a low intellect question. instead of thinking how the mainstream media narrative tells you to think, why not try thinking for yourself, differently, outside of the box... quit being a mindless zombie that will never possess the intellect to have one original thought

[@lxw6657]

I actually shed a tear when I got to the end of the nutty putty story I watched, it's sad to put myself in John's shoes or anyone's he was with. Losing your arms and legs, not being able to breathe and being upside down for almost a day and talking to your family the whole time trying to figure out if you're coming home or not, like.. damn. Despite how tragic and depressing the story is, one thing that stuck in my mind was how in the hell do you as a 6 foot 200lb man believe that what you're doing is a good idea and that you're gonna make it out? Reminding yourself as someone who does extreme sports that you CAN die easily is probably a good thing, seems like most of these horror stories stem from people forgetting that, or foregoing the basic safety measures.

In Chattanooga, TN, my son wanted to see the cave Rock City. So off we went. There was one elevator that was jammed PACKED, The elevator was slow, finally to doors opened and you got off in a tunnel. A mob of people were coming to get on the elevator to go up. This skinny tunnel was a going start and another leaving. I started to hyperventilating and got back to the elevator cutting the line. I had to get out of there. Full blown panic attack. The elevator guy told me to go to the back and wait my turn. It was the last thing I remember until I came too in their First Aid Room. Well, that was my FIRST and LAST TRIP to a cave. I had no idea I was Claustrophobic, we went back to the hotel. VERY VERY DCARY AND EMBARRASSING,!!

What was he doing there in the first place

[@tortoiseguy283]

Have you heard a story about The Wildcat cave incident that takes place 58 years ago? A young boy name Morris Baetzoid, 15 years old, went exploring in a cave with his 2 friends after their school bus got a flat tire, forcing 16 youths and 3 teachers to cancel their trip to Schoenbrunn Village in Tuscarawas County. He was stuck in the same position like John Jones. He was trapped upside down for 24 hours, then the rope somehow pulled him out to safety and alive while John Jone's rope gave away and died a horrible death 27 hours later.

[@edit4310]

So one thing people forget/don't know is the way John was positioned, his legs were already hitting the roof and he was facing forwards it meant they couldn't be bent without breaking them. The team considered this, but then realised the amount of stress he was in, being upside down for that long, blood pressure etc, breaking his legs would send him into shock, killing him.

[@edit4310]

The rope around john's legs alone were so agonising for John that despite being pulled out of that situation he actually begged the team to stop a few times. His pain receptors were overly receptive at that point. Imagine breaking his legs? He would've definitely gone into shock.

[@flowergirl4612]

All these stories were sad and horrific. But John's in the first one was absolutely heartbreaking. He was so close to being rescued, so close. I can't imagine having to say your goodbyes to your loved ones and hearing everyone around you. John shouldn't have gone, or he should have started crawling back once he felt something was wrong. I don't understand why people always go forward when they don't know if anything is there. You go back the way you came from, period.

This is my childhood horror scenario. I read a classic British fantasy novel when I was younger, The Weirdstone Of Brisingamen, where the characters have to crawl through an underground tunnel just like the one John Jones got stuck in. They can't turn back, it's too tight, and then the tunnel starts curving down, and they see that the tunnel's almost totally flooded ahead of them. They have to start slowly swimming on their backs, so that their mouths can reach the tiny part of the tunnel with air in it. Their noses are scraping the roof of the cave and because they're doing backstroke they can't see ahead of them. They just have to hope that the tunnel doesn't dip down any further and become completely flooded. That part of the book profoundly freaked me out, forever.

How not to get into trouble caving: Don't go caving. The Nutty Putty disaster really haunts me, one wrong turn, a bad decision to try to push through, & I feel for his wife & kids. What a slow, horrible death.

[@woofbark4475]

I was trapped under a bed in a known environment as a child and that was scary enough let alone going into these crazy caves to explore. But everyone has their hobbies some are unfortunately by nature more risky than others.

[@s727r]

I've gotten stuck as a child a few times and it's the most horrible feeling of dismay, I don't know why people would do this to themselves. Stupidity disguised as bravery.

Good call.

I tried caving once, in a small, tight cave pretty close to the Plura system.(It was a totally dry cave, though, unlike the Plura system. I made an idiotic mistake, I tried to pull myself through an extremely tight passage, it was so tight that my head got stuck!!! I kid you not. I was just 10years old, but my kid brother was behind me and he ran for help from adults who managed to pull me out. While waiting for that help, I developed claustrophobia..I have wanted to try caving later, but I cannot bring myself to do it. Parachuting and glider planes I can easily do, but nothing envolving tight spaces, confined spaces..still..that long after that accident..

I must admit, the second story did not end the way I expected, and I'm really happy for them. I did grow increasingly hopeful each time they managed to overcome every hardships they encountered this far, but I thought it'd be false hope that would eventually end in disaster and make it more tragic, mercifully not. I have mad respect and absolute relief that they managed to make it out. This is in contrast to the other three stories, which are incredibly tragic, terrifying and unfortunate, may they all rest in peace.
