    Cave crawling is akin to mountaineering, in which it shares a lot of techniques. Except with a cave you don’t exactly know what is after the odd opening. Ive known some of these people and they are unique. I saw reports that this cave had long vertices, so they had some effort getting him out of there on a stretcher.

      Why is it that the only insults most men can think of are all insulting or being compared to a woman? It’s not 1880 anymore.

        I hate the political angle much more - what does Erdogan have to do with this and why does he need to be mentioned in a caving incident?

        Can’t people just stop inserting their stupid politics into every god damn thread?

        Yeah this is more along the lines of “researcher working with multinational team falls ill in remote cave” more than “dumb american does dumb thing and needs rescue”. Man started throwing up blood and fell into a 3 day semiconciousness at which point he needed rescue.

          “Dumb American Does Dumb Thing In Dumb Cave, Needs Taxpayer Funded Rescue”

          if I hadn’t accidentally seen a news segment with him I’d be on the same page. The headlines never point out the work he was doing.
