Hi All,

Does anyone have more information on the Rainbow Cave rescue. The article is vague in several areas. Any info would be appreciated. e.g. what equipment the spelunkers had, who called them in as missing, which rescue team, who was on the rescue, injuries (if any), you know the drill. If you can send additional insite, please email me aca@caves.org or fill out an incident report at http://www.caves.org/pub/aca/acaform.html

thanks and stay safe,

Knoxville television station WATE News has a nice follow-up article and video report on their web site http://www.wate.com about the Rainbow Cave rescue last month. It features an interview with Knoxville cave rescue team member David Brace, as well as photos taken in-cave during the rescue.
