So I just learned about the nutty putty cave incident

I know, must of you probably already know about it, but Jesus.

I don't think :marseyoscargamble: I've felt this much dread watching :marseyoperasmug: another person's suffering :marseypain: in years.

The thing is nutty putty case isn't even that special because every caving incident like that is extremely morbid. There's just no other way around it, if something happens to you in a cave you'll be dying a very slow and uncomfortable death from exhaustion or hypothermia.

It's why I will never understand people who do this particular subset of caving where they jam themselves into tight holes. If you really need that adrenaline fix then go mountain climbing or skydiving or something, if a malfunctions happens there at least it will be over quick

If you look into cave diving deaths there are a decent number who find an air pocket and die slowly over the course of a few days weeks

https://cavedivingaccident.com/tragedy-in-the-depths-the-sterkfontein-cave-dive-disaster-of-peter-verhalsel/

Peter swam through a tunnel maze and quickly realized he was lost. He was stranded in a cave by himself with no way out, and his oxygen was running low. He happened upon a little island at the end of a tunnel by chance. He made his way out of the water and onto the island. He wouldn't drown now, but he didn't have enough air to find his way out of the cave. His only option was to wait for help.

Peter waited for hours before succumbing to tiredness and falling asleep. When he awoke, no one had arrived to assist him. Peter was sitting in a pitch-black tunnel with nothing to do except wait. In the weeks that followed, police divers who routinely combed the maze of underground creeks and pools came within 118 feet (36 meters) of him as he waited on the little underground beach. According to the spokesperson, the search operation was suspended after six weeks.

The dry search was resumed by the cavers who came upon a hole adjacent to the main cave and discovered long tunnels with footprints within. Rehearsel's body was discovered in total darkness close to a sump pool six weeks and one day after he had vanished. His famished physique had shrunk to bones by that point. An autopsy revealed that Peter Verhulsel died of starvation after three weeks. He left only one last message for his wife and mother, knowing he was dying. He drew in the sand, β€œI love you, Shirl and Ma.”

They pronounced him dead at 27 hours. IE, we're not risking our lives :marseykneel: trying to get him out anymore.

The consensus was that he died about ten hours in though.
