On November 24, 2009, John Edward Jones tragically died after becoming trapped in Nutty Putty Cave for 28 hours.
While exploring with his brother, Jones entered a narrow tunnel, mistaking it for the "Birth Canal" passage.
He became wedged upside-down in a 10 by 18-inch space, 400 feet from the entrance.
Despite extensive rescue efforts and a sophisticated rope-and-pulley system, a pulley failure and his position led to cardiac arrest.
Rescuers deemed it too dangerous to retrieve his body. Consequently, the cave was sealed as a memorial, with explosives collapsing the ceiling near Jones and the entrance filled with concrete to prevent further access.
"La guerra es un lugar donde jóvenes que no se conocen y no se odian, se matan entre sí, basándose en decisiones tomadas por viejos que se conocen y se odian, pero no se matan... Paul Valéry

🚨HILO🚨
El 14 de abril de 1945 alguien la cagó literalmente en el Mar del Norte. Usando mal el inodoro de un submarino, terminó enviándolo al fondo del mar.
¿Pero cómo funciona el inodoro de un submarino? ¿Y cómo se hunde un submarino de 700 toneladas con un inodoro? 👇👇
