This couldn't have happened, like the moon landings (which were filmed in
L.A.).

Barbbimbobette has recently declared this -impossible- (with cites she
refuses to provide) per the Queecreek Mine Disaster.

It's all in your mind.

Except that, unlike mining officials, those in charge of the caving expeditions had
considered exactly this scenario and run a dive line well before it even got cloudy.
That frequent flooding rinsed all of the coal dust out of the cave years ago didn't
hurt either.

No they weren't cave divers. That's just it. They were
spelunkers, i.e. WALKED in the cave.

But there was a sudden rain storm that flooded their exit.
Rumour has it they were on a military training mission ..
all those Afghani caves...

But the "divers" that pulled them out were _cave_ divers.
