This is a Cave Man story you have to read, to believe. Not only is it a tale of fascinating attempts to rescue a man trapped far below the earth, but also one of how journalism brings human drama to the world, and how people exploit the inevitable circus that ensues.
Spelunking was a one time event in my life filled with cold, bats, water, tight places, and darkness. Those men were fearless, doing it alone. The tale had me thinking of my grandfather as a coal miner with the added issues of dust and explosives. Thank you, Tom
Amazing the great stories that can b e dug up from the past by a talented researcher.
I saw it. Although now mostly forgotten, I think, it's really rather a classic.

Pop Rembisz was briefly in the coal mines, then joined the Army. None of the Uncles, to my knowledge, followed Grandpa's mining experience.
