Another cave rescue took place this past weekend, this time in Alabama's Viking Cave. No real details in this report. Maybe more information will be forthcoming from the Huntsville Cave Rescue Squad or Hamilton County Cave Rescue Squad.
Man Rescued From Marshall County Cave
December 4, 2006
From Channel 19 News (Huntsville):
Rescue teams freed a man stuck in a cave overnight Saturday into Sunday morning.
Rescuers say two men went into the Marshall County cave, about five miles off Cardessa Lane near Grant around Noon on Saturday. They were apparently going to repell*. One of the men was inexperienced and got stuck in the cave.
The trouble is, the same thing happened to one of the rescuers. A rescue team from Hamilton County, Tennessee was called in to help. Everyone is safely out of the cave now, and everyone is okay.
