Most Painful Cave Tragedies Ever Recorded

Two experienced cavers. Two different decades. The same horrifying outcome. John Edward Jones entered Utah's Nutty Putty Cave in 2009 for a family caving trip. He took a wrong turn into an unmapped passage and became wedged upside down in an 18x10 inch crevice. Despite 27 hours of rescue attempts, including a pulley system that briefly lifted him before catastrophically failing, he couldn't be saved. Fifty years earlier, Oxford student Neil Moss descended England's "Suicide Shaft" at Peak Cavern. He pushed into a tight squeeze at the bottom, became stuck, and spent 48 freezing hours trapped while rescuers listened helplessly as his voice grew weaker. Both men remain entombed where they died. Both caves were permanently sealed. This video tells their stories with the respect they deserve. Timeline: 0:00 - John Edward Jones: Nutty Putty Cave 4:45 - Neil Moss: Peak Cavern 8:30 - Aftermath
