Caves are some of the most dangerous places on Earth — one wrong step, one sudden flood, and the darkness becomes a tomb.

Claustrophobic passages, rising waters, and unforgiving rock turned adventure into nightmare. These stories serve as haunting reminders of how fragile life is beneath the surface. 0:00 - intro 0:15 - Mossdale Caverns Flood Tragedy (1967) 0:39 - The Drowning of Éric Establie – Gouffre Berger (1989) 1:06 - Lechuguilla Cave Fatal Fall (2010) ⚠️ This is part of our Dark History & Horrific Deaths series, exploring the most disturbing stories of survival gone wrong, from space to the deep underground.
