    "In the space of 24 hours last week, two spectacular rescue operations were carried out in southern Germany."

    OK, this may be a little off-topic but this might be the best "cave" rescue I've heard about it a long time and in total contrast to the one mentioned above...

    Was a 'C' section required? It looks like his head crowned the event first ! What did the AMS journal say ? Who were the attending doctors ??

    Wonderful effort by all involved.

    As a long time vertical caver I can only stand in awe of the effort required to accomplish this.
