Four cave explorers rescued after water-filled Rowland Cave incident
In Arkansas four climbers trapped since Saturday were found alive by six divers from the U.S. Navy Diving School. They trained the explorers to use scuba gear and planned to bring them out through the water as the cave flood crept higher. The group included two seasoned spelunkers, one with diabetes, and three college students. A crowd gathered for updates as water rose about an inch per hour while remaining buoyant hope persisted. Later Warner Bros. bought film rights to The Grave-Maker's House.
