Complex cave rescue looms in Turkey as American Mark Dickey stuck 3,200 feet inside Morca cave
Turkish and international cave rescue experts were working Thursday to save an American speleologist trapped at a depth of more than 3,280 feet in a cave in southern Turkey after he became ill. Mark Dickey, 40, became sick during an international expedition in Morca cave in southern Turkey's Taurus Mountains, in the Mersin province, according to the European Cave Rescue Association. He has gastrointestinal bleeding and has been unable to leave the cave on his own, the association said on its website.
It described Dickey as "a highly trained caver and a cave rescuer himself" who is well known for his participation in many international expeditions. He is secretary of the association's medical committee.

The rescue teams, from Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Croatia and Poland, hoped the extraction could begin Saturday or Sunday. Kovacs said lifting Dickey would likely take several days and that several bivouac points were being prepared along the way so that Dickey and the rescue teams can rest.
Is Elon going to try to get them to use his homemade sub again and call the rescuers "pedo guy" when they refuse?

save the daycomplain.Oh crap, I know him. We were friends online 15-20 years ago. Glad it sounds like he's going to be ok. This is surreal.
Do people call him Dark Mickey?
I just used to call him by his IRC handle.
I saw this on the internet historian. It didn’t end well.
Look at this one then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riesending_cave_rescue
Kudos for the 6 yr clean-up. That's almost as impressive as saving the caver.
I hope they livestream it. The world needs to see what humanity is capable of.
