Trapped explorer Mark Dickey rescued from cave in Turkey

A US explorer who became seriously ill 3,000 feet underground in a Turkish cave was pulled to safety in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The 40-year-old began vomiting on September 2 after suffering stomach bleeding while on an expedition with several others in the Morca cave in southern Turkey’s Taurus Mountains. The New Yorker was stranded underground for nine days before being pulled out of the cave at 12:37am local time. He was then whisked off to a medical tent for treatment. “The cave rescue part of the operation has ended successfully. We congratulate all those who have contributed”, The Speleological Federation of Turkey wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
