GENARO C. ARMAS - Associated Press
Members of the National Cave Rescue Commission arrived from West Virginia and four other states, and state police, the Red Cross and the Salvation Army were also on scene. Rescuers used wired radios to stay in contact.

Interesting... last time I checked, the NCRC wasn't a membership organization. And wired radios were called "phones"
Not a bad write-up overall, though. At least this story had a happy ending.

Am I missing something? What happened between Saturday night and Monday morning?
My guess is that the first rescuers went into the cave at 11:15 pm on Sunday, and that the lost cavers had already been sitting for about 24 hours.
