Woman rescued after being stuck in cave in East County for 16 hours

EAST COUNTY —  

A 29-year-old woman was stuck in a 12-inch-wide “gap” in a cave in East County for about 16 hours before rescuers freed her late Sunday morning, a sheriff’s official said.

It occurred in an area known as Thunder Canyon Cave — made up of openings formed between piled-up boulders — off McCain Valley Road north of the rural community of Boulevard.

The woman was “traversing a narrow opening” in the cave with friends Saturday when she got stuck, sheriff’s Lt. Jeffrey Ford said. Her friends tried to dislodge her, to no avail, so they called for help about 6 p.m.
Deputies and search-and-rescue volunteers responded, along with California Office of Emergency Services personnel and a cave rescue team with the an Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
It takes hours to hike into the caves and rescuers had to inch their way into very narrow passages while slowly passing along their gear and equipment,” Ford said in a news release. “They checked on the patient and kept her warm with blankets to prevent hypothermia.”

They used “roping mechanisms” to rescue her, the lieutenant added.

The woman was freed about 10 a.m. Sunday. A Cal Fire helicopter airlifted her to a spot where an awaiting ambulance crew treated her for exhaustion, scrapes and bruises, Ford said.

Ford issued a few reminders for those who go caving:

Was there no in-flight movie then? Stunned Ryanair passengers stare open-mouthed as couple romp on Manchester to Ibiza flight 

Image
A randy couple romped on a Ryanair flight as passengers watched in shock and one filmed the saucy behaviour on his phone. The kinky couple didn't even bother to go to the lavatory and chose to get saucy in front of passengers on the flight from  Manchester  to Ibiza, at 8.20pm yesterday. Passengers watched as the woman clambered on top of her companion and they began to romp an hour into the flight to the party island. Kieran Williams, 21, from Preston, Lancashire, was astonished to see the couple's raunchy antics an hour into the flight on the budget airline. 'I heard them talking about it but I thought they were joking. The guy was shouting, "Anyone got a jelly?" meaning condom. We all laughed but then ten minutes later they actually did it. They seemed so drunk, they brought a lot of attention to themselves. 'You could see the girl taking off her pants and he pulled his trousers off. She started riding him. 'I had to get my p

Alfa’ captured having sex with mad woman in Ibadan

Image
A man alleged to be an Alfa was captured having sex with a mad woman in Ibadan. In a video going viral on Facebook, the man is seen approaching the woman in a dirty backyard where she lay on a concrete floor with her head resting on a mat. He then looks around, pulls his trousers, looks around again, and appears to penetrate the woman. The man appeared to be holding his nostrils as he continued to thrust. Observers filming from a nearby house are heard whispering in surprise. “Alfa o,” a woman is heard saying, shock evident in her voice. “Ye, he’s sleeping with her, he’s sleeping with her,” a man is heard saying repeatedly. “Stop speaking loudly,” the woman cautions him as they watch and film the Alfa in the act. The woman expressed shock that the same Alfa who preaches to people can engage in such an act. The man filming is heard calling the name of Jesus repeatedly while exclaiming in shock. “This one is happening live in Ibadan o. Jesus Christ. Ahhhh. A man of God for that matter,”

Couple Caught Very Clearly Having Sex on Board Airplane

We never thought we’d need to say this, but here we go: There’s a big difference between getting married on board an airplane and having sexual intercourse on board an airplane. The former arrangement can be pretty romantic, despite its unusual setting, as evidenced by the video below, on a Southwest flight this week.  The latter, though? It’s just weird and gross and dirty, despite being sort of admirable in its own way. We say this because a man and a woman were recently videotaped while very clearly getting it on while flying about 35,000 feet over the ground. This isn’t the first time a couple has joined what society has deemed The Mile High Club, but it’s gotta be one of the first times they have dared to do so without going into the bathroom first. Seriously! These two just starting humping on their seats! “My mom and dad were just trying to have a peaceful trip to Mexico and then they sent me this……..” Twitter user @kileytully wrote alongside the borderline NSFW footage, which
