Czech speleologists rescued in Slovakia

Two Czech speleologists who were exploring a system of caves near the town of Rožňava, in eastern Slovakia, were rescued after more than 40 hours they spent underground. After rising water trapped two men inside the cave, one of the explorers managed to escape but then another went in to look for the one who couldn’t get out; local rescue teams got the two trapped speleologists out in the end.
