Daring escape for six trapped teenagers
TV3 News, New Zealand - 1 hour ago
Six teenagers trapped in a cave on the east coast of Northland were treated for hypothermia in hospital after their rescue late last night.
The 13 to 15-year-old students from Northcote College in Auckland went into the cave at Waipu south of Whangarei yesterday morning but they were trapped by a lunchtime downpour.
Firefighters who were among 50 rescue personnel at the scene had to pump water from the cave until the children could be roped to near the cave entrance.
