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:

ANOTHER WOMAN CAUGHT ON CAMERA HAVING SEX IN THE BUSH WITH A MARRIED MAN!

Masvingo – The notorious Masvingo Photographer is not giving up on his project of exposing couples who like romping in the bush. This time he shocked this woman who temporarily became paralysed when she discovered that their “moment of passion” was being carefully recorded. According to the cameraman, she looked dumbfounded as she squatted legs asunder the “bedroom cooking stick” of a married man who is believed to be a cleaner in the city. The two were busted last Sunday afternoon sexercising bedroom gymnastics in this thicket near Masvingo water tanks close to Wimpy Inn. Because it was raining and muddy, the two could not lie on the ground,so the man made a makeshift mat from tree branches and leaves. He sat on the branches with his trousers dropped to almost knee level and the woman then sat astride him and the fun began, everything in the eye of the cameraman. For a considerable moment they grabbed each other tightly groaning with pleasure of love making while the photographer fil...

Skeleton of Four Breasted Woman Discovered

Byram, NJ. Recent renovations of a section of  Route 80 westbound have uncovered the remains of what archeologists believe to be the first solid evidence of the legendary “four breasted woman” spoken of in Lenni Lenape folklore. Dr. Kevin Spitzkiel, adjunct professor of archeology at the nearby Centenary College stated “This is the breakthrough we’ve been looking for all these years. Ever since I was a boy growing up in Warren County I heard tales of a clan of four breasted women.  Even the men had four nipples.” Road crews were digging up part of the highway when they found several human bones.  They called local State Troopers immediately.  Once the Troopers recognized this was not a fresh crime scene, they called for Dr Spitzkiel.  He is known in the area as the “Skeleton Guy” His interest in the human skeleton is massive. He can  often be seen driving around town with a lifesize skeleton replica in the passenger seat of his car. “The interesting part o...

A woman was found dead in the stomach of a 7-metre python at a rubber plantation where she worked in Indonesia, according to local reports. The woman, identified as Jahrah, 54, went to work on the plantation in Jambi province, on the island of Sumatra, on Sunday morning and her husband reported her missing when she did not return home that evening. Searching for her on Sunday night, her husband discovered her sandals, headscarf, jacket and the tools she used at work, and called for others to help, police told local media. The following morning, a python was spotted nearby. When the security team and residents conducted a search around the rubber plantation, then we found a python 7 metres long. It is this snake that is suspected of preying on the victim. After we caught him, we found the victim’s body in the snake’s stomach,” the local police chief, AKP S Harefa, told the Detik news site. Pythons, which kill through constriction, typically eat smaller animals, swallowing their food wh...
