The Floyd Collins Cave Rescue Saga Ends in Death
Floyd Collins perished after days trapped in Crystal Cave near Cave City Kentucky. Brothers Homer and others struggled to reach him as rescue teams drilled and cleared the quarry tunnel, but the rock pinning his left ankle proved insurmountable. A crippled neighbor boy and later Homer, along with Lieut Ben Wells, attempted to free him, yet the winding pink sinkhole and narrow passage doomed the effort.
