I've seen too many memes as of late. I really thought this would have been Saddam Hussein without reading this first.

Heres one to add to your collection. Its a bit old but still kinda amusing.
Fun Fact: They never got him out, they sealed the cave with his body still there. Nutty Putty Cave is his grave.

If anyone wants some nightmare fuel, here's what happened.
I searched for an watched a YouTube video about it......and I regret it immensely.
I can’t wait for someone in 2077 to make a documentary about this by plagiarizing an article that goes hour by hour.
I have a feeling that someone will later make a 4-hour-long video essay calling them out for it
Okay this is clearly referencing something. Who is it
Hbomberguy called out Internet Historian for blatant plagiarism.
Internet Historian of all people? Well damn :(
Yeah, I was really disappointed to learn it too. It was blatant -- the entire script is ripped from a well-written article about the experience, verbatim except for a few words swapped around.

My god, my stomach hurts and my chest feels tight just from reading that. I went to Cave of the winds in Colorado a few years back and they had a smaller tunnel that you could crawl through to get a sense of what it was like. It was probably like 20ft long and big enough for the pretty hefty guide to get through. I got up to it and noped the fuck out.

Brave people push boundaries so that less brave people can read things in books.
Edit: I assume the people downvoting this obvious truth think I'm calling them cowards. I assure you I will be right there with you curled up reading books about caving. Fuck all that.
Brave people push boundaries, stupid people purposely shove their entire bodies into a hole and die

Well, yes, but you can be brave and take precautions at the same time. He wouldn't have died if he'd followed proper caving guidelines.

I remember seeing a video of a dude exploring a cave and he was crawling through some narrow ass space tighter than under my bed. Why would one want to do this??? What if it was a dead end? How tf are you gonna turn around? Crawl backwards? I just can't with any of this
You will never reap the rewards of being trapped under water for hours with that kind of attitude.

I've seen such video. The dude struggled to move because he just barely fit in enough to still be able to breathe. There was water in there, and he said he has to return because it's starting to fill with water.
Fill with water? Nope. Nope. Why would I go in such space.
Edit: Maybe this could be it: https://youtu.be/6Yf0gDzUMFA

How about this, there's people that do this underwater. They take the tank off their back, push it out ahead of them. If they get stuck, they don't have 27 hours to try and figure their shit out, they have a couple hours at best
That's where I draw the line.
Normal spelunking, minimal vertical work, the occasional belly crawl no smaller than a manhole. That's actually a pretty good time. You get wet, dirty, have a few laughs with your friends, and then shake it off with some beers back at the campsite. No need to go aggressive with ridiculously tight crawls and/or 100's of feet of vertical work, etc.
Cave diving? Let's take an activity where it's very easy to loose track of time, and add SCUBA which requires time management down to the minute for your health and survival. Nevermind getting lost, disoriented, or wedged underwater somewhere. I get that this is very intrepid stuff, and the very distant corners of cave systems are being explored this way. But it's a big no for me; the risk does not justify the reward, IMO.

I mean, the moment you see a passage that barely fits a child and you think to yourself "Hey, I should get in there!", you're just aiming to be the year's winner of the Darwin Awards.
It's what I think on the rare occasions I get a look at my wife's genitalia.

I love to watch caving videos: much better for someone younger and foolhardier than me to actually do the climbing and clambering with their gopros. I'll continue to enjoy things like air, vast open spaces, and vicarious experiences.
People take a lot of safety precautions now, reasonably, but every once in a while the cavers on YT will do something just stupid and it baffles me. "The water's ice cold and up to my nostrils, but I really want to see where this tunnel goes! Going to turn my lamp and camera off for now to save battery, see you in a few hours!"

God I hate the idea of that being your last days... Why do people just purposely wander deep into caves?

Nutty Putty Cave jesus who the hell names these caves?
Nutty putty people
What I don’t get is neither path is very deep, so shining a light would reveal both dead ends. Can’t think of a worse way to go tho. And the fear and panic realizing you’re doomed.

This video detailing the event was more uncomfortable to watch than expected, if you really imagine what it must have been like.. Horrible way to go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-TaF2DbaWw
Honestly in some way he was lucky. There were people helping him and trying to rescue him and he could hear them directly and even see someone's face at a point, they even gave him a radio to communicate to his wife waiting outside of the cave. He was comforted and had company and hope. A lot of other "explorers" or "adventurers" who die in freak accidents don't have that much luck.

The closest I'll be getting to exploring a cave is playing Microsoft Adventure. I'm not getting into a cave, no sir.
That's a crazy story, I hope someone makes an original video about it
