• 0:38
  Speaker 1: get into today's stories. On a Saturday afternoon in February
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of twenty eleven, eighteen year old Michael Peary was one
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: thousand feet underground, crouched inside of a dark cave in Lafayette, Georgia,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: along with four of his friends. As Michael looked around,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: his head lamp beam bounced off all the low hanging
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: rocks and underground waterfalls and deep crevices, and it all
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: just kind of felt like some kind of dark and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: otherworldly planet down here. So this cave that they were
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in was a famous cave called Ellison, and Michael and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: his friends had driven over four hundred miles from their
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: college town in Gainesville to see it. Ellison was almost
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: twelve miles of tunnels and shaps and crevices, and thousands
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of cavers went through it every year. It was very popular. Now.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: To be clear, caving as an activity was not really
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Michael's thing. He was a marketing major at the University
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of Florida, and he mostly considered himself to be a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: pretty quiet person and liked studying, or playing in his
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: school band, or volunteering with his church youth group, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: so crawling through a a tiny, pitch black, very claustrophobic
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: hole hundreds of feet underground was not really his first
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: choice for fun. But Michael was not there today for fun.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: He was there because his close friend, a guy named
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Grant Lochenbach, had suggested it. So he had said, Okay,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I'll go with you. Just now, Michael looked over to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: where Grant was sitting with his girlfriend, whose name was Carry,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and also they were sitting with two of their other friends,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and the group of them were all looking through a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: backpack and sort of taking stock of the various pieces
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of gear that they had brought along with them. Now
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: they'd only entered Ellison just a few minutes ago, but
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: already the group had stopped because there was something in
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: this area that Grant really wanted to see. And when
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Grant wanted to do something, they usually happened. Hence why
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Michael capitulated and wound up in this cave because Grant
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: wanted him to, and so, you know, like normal, he
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: went along with it. So Grant he was the president
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of their school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which Michael Carey
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and the other two friends were also members of. And
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: when Michael had joined the fellowship, Grant had sort of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: taken him under his wing and told Michael that he
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: had tons of potential. In fact, he said Michael had
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: enough potential to be the next president of the fellowship,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and this had given Michael a ton of confidence because
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he really looked up to Grant. I mean a lot
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of people did. Grant was just cool. He was a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: few years older than Michael and was basically like a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: six foot tall ball of positive energy who was always
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: looking for some adventure to go off and do. Grant
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: had been exploring caves as a hobby for the last
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: three years, and he was actually really the only member
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of their group with any real caving experience, and it
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: was actually this lack of experience amongst the other people
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that were with Grant, you know, including Michael, that was
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the reason they were going through an easier tunnel within
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Allison that was basically a straight shot through the mountain
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and did not require much gear like rope or climbing equipment.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It was like very beginner But despite that, despite the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: low level of difficulty of the caving route they had chosen,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: they'd brought that stuff anyway, all that extra equipment because
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: along this easier route, at the place where they were
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: now stopped was the entrance to a vertical shaft that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Grant specifically wanted to climb down, even if he went alone.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: This shaft was one hundred and twenty five feet deep,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: so think of like a ten story building. That is
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: how deep this pit went. But it was actually called
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the warm up pit because compared to the other deep
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: pits in Ellison, it was nothing. Some were way deeper,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: like over five hundred feet, so this was definitely not beginner,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this was an advanced thing to be doing, so Grant
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: was going to do it, but again it's sort of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a novice level, more advanced thing to be doing in
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: this cave. Now, Michael watched Grant take the backpack with
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: all the equipment in it over to this pit's entrance,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: which was basically just a very large hole in the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: ground that was over near this waterfall, and it was
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: only about a few feet away from Michael, and so
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Michael walked over to Grant to help set him up,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: which involved attaching a climbing rope to the rocks that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Grant could then use to lower himself into this with
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: This process is called rigging, and it took them a while,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: since really Michael had to wait for Grant to instruct
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: him on every step because Michael, again is not an
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: experienced caver at all. But as Michael worked with Grant
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to get him all rigged up, he found himself peering
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: into the pitch black hole, and as he looked down
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: into what just felt like this bottomless abyss, he felt
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: his stomach kind of flip. He was glad he had
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: not promised Grant that he would go into the pit too,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: because you know, seeing it now up close in person,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, this was terrifying. He did not want to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: go into this thing, but Grant clearly did. He was excited,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and so Michael and Grant continued to get Grant all
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: set up, and then eventually, finally, when Grant was rigged,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Michael heard the sound of something pretty heavy sliding off
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of a rock, and then moments later there was this loud,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: echoing thud from deep inside of this hole, the warm
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: up pit. For a moment, Michael was just confused. He
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: didn't know what the sound was, you know, maybe it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was a rock falling into the pit. But he looked
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: over at Grant, and Grant had a very unhappy expression,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and he was looking at the ground right next to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the pit hole, and that was where their backpack had
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: been with all the equipment inside of it, at least
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the equipment that they weren't using, and the backpack was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: not there anymore. The backpack had just fallen one hundred
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and twenty five feet down into this pit. Now, obviously
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: this was not good. They did not want their backpack
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in this hole, but it was actually worse than just
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: losing their equipment potentially, because in that bag was their
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: only cell phone that they had brought with them, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it was also where they had put all their ropes
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and other climbing gear. They'd taken some stuff out, you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to get Grant rigged up here, but still losing this
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: bag felt really bad. Without its contents, they could easily
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: get stranded or trapped inside of this cave and they
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to call or text anybody. They'd be stuck.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And so Michael could actually feel himself starting to panic.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But then Grant cut in and played it cool as always,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and he said, look, it's no big deal. He would
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: just go down there and he would get it. I mean,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he was going into the hole anyway, and he was
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: rigged up after all, so he would just go down
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and retrieved the bag. It would be fine. And then
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: before Michael or you know, Grant's scholfriend or the other
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: friends could say anything, Grant just you know, strapped on
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: his harness and a pair of ascenders, which were climbing
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: tools that would help him move down the rope in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a controlled way, and he began sort of positioning himself
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to go down into this pit, and Michael just watched
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Grant in complete awe. I mean, Grant was so confident
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that he was able to basically make everybody else around
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: him feel calm too, And I mean Michael felt himself
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: calming down just watching Grant. And this was not the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: only time that Grant had projected calm in the face
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of danger. During Grant's freshman year, he'd casually climbed up
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the exterior of one of their school's dormitories just to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: see if he could do it, and he did do it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And he also had joined the school's ROTC which is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a military reserve training program, and learned how to jump
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: out of planes, so he had skydived, you know, sort
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of a thrill seeking activity. And so this moment in
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the cave seemed like yet another example of why Grant
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: was really such an incredible leader, and Michael found himself
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: hoping that by the time he potentially took over as
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: president of the fellowship, that he could be just as
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: fearless as Grant. But for now, Michael watched as Grant
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: very calmly lowered himself into the hole and then disappeared
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: into the abyss below. And for the next few minutes
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it was very quiet, and all Michael could hear was
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the sound of the waterfall, So he and Carrie and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the others just sort of talked amongst themselves and waited
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for Grant to call back up that he was down
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: there and had successfully grabbed the backpack. And finally they
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: did hear Grant, and he did call out from somewhere
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: down in the hole, but Michael couldn't really understand what
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Grant was saying because the waterfall that was kind of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: blasting nearby was really loud, and also Grant's voice echoed
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: around the cave, which made it hard to tell what
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: he was saying. So at this point Michael and Carry
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and the others were not worried. They figured that this
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: was just an acoustics problem, not a safety problem. So
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Michael just walked over to the edge of this pit
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and kind of leaned over and just looked down, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: he couldn't see Grant. He was too far down and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it was too dark, And so Michael called out, asking
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Grant to repeat himself because I couldn't understand what he
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: was saying, and Grant did yell back. He clearly replied
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to Michael, but Michael still couldn't really make out what
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he was saying. However, this time there was something really
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: different about the way Grant sounded. Again. Even though he
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't know what Grant's saying, one thing was definitely clear.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Grant no longer sounded like the calm, cool and collected,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: fearless leader that he normally was. He was talking really fast,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he was repeating himself. He was saying something really really quickly,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: very urgently, and even though again it wasn't clear what
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it was, the tone was very clear. Grant was scared.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: There was a problem. Now. Obviously, problems arise when you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: are repelling into a one hundred and twenty five foot
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: hole underground in this cave, that problems can happen. But
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: for Michael and the others, when they sort of realized
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that something was wrong for Grant, it was really shocking.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, Grant is the guy that got other people
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: out of problems. He was the calm guy. Nothing rattled him,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and so just to hear him basically panicking, it was
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: really unsettling for those at the surface, and so Michael
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and the others, I mean, they're kind of hit with
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: this sudden realization that one it's very unsettling to hear
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Grant sounding this way. But worse two is they're not cavers.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: They can't go into this pit and save Grant if
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: he needs saving, not only because they lacked experience, but
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: also all the caving, all the climbing equipment was in
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that backpack that fell into the pit that's down there
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: with Grant, So there's no way they can realistically help
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: him if he is in any sort of trouble down there.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And also their one cell phone is down in that
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: backpack in the pit. And so unless Grant can figure
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: out whatever problem he's got and get back up here
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: on his own, Michael and the others, without even saying it,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: new like they were kind of helpless. And so as
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: this realization is setting in for Michael and the others,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Grant goes from trying to talk to them, even though
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: again they can't tell what he's saying. He just sounds
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: sort of panicked, just straight up screaming. He's screaming for
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: them something is horribly wrong. And so Michael and carry
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, they start yelling down to Grant, trying to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: get him to clarify what's going on. But you have
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this waterfall that's causing all this noise and splashing everywhere.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It's dark, and Grant clearly is so panicked that he's
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: not even listening to them, and so it's chaos, it's madness.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And so Michael and Carry they turn to the other
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: two friends and they say, look, we're gonna stay here
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: at this hole and wait for Grant. You two leave
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the cave, go get help. And so the other two
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: they rushed off to do just that, while Michael and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Carrey just sat there listening to Grant, getting more and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: more hysterical by the second. You know, somewhere down in
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: this hole, they still have no idea what's wrong, but
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: clearly there is an emergency here. And so for a
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: little while after the friends have have gone off, Michael
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and Carry, even though they're not really talking to Grant
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: because he's just kind of rambling and yelling and screaming.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: They can't understand him. They're just kind of shouting down
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: into the hole that everything's gonna be okay. We've sent
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to get help, it's gonna be okay. You're gonna get
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: out of here soon. They have no idea if he
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: can hear them or understand them. I mean, they're assuming
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that the acoustics are bad down there too. Again, the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: sound of that waterfall is so loud, it's so dark,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and so they're just like having this this awful moment.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: But then what cut through all this chaos was at
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: some point Michael heard Grant say something that he really
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: did understand. Grant, at some point, in a very high pitched,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: almost screaming voice, yelled out Michael's name, like he was
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: directly yelling to Michael, like I need you, Michael, to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: help me. Now. At this point, obviously the situation has
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: escalated dramatically and already like things are bad. And for
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Michael this felt like a big deal. I mean, before
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that all the yelling and screaming was obviously bad. But Michael,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you know, he kind of views himself as, you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Grant's successor potentially he's going to be the next, you know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: president this fellowship, and he looked up to Grant so much,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: primarily because Grant was like this fearless leader. And so
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Michael sort of felt like when he heard his name
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: called out that Grant was specifically sort of challenging him,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: like you, Michael, I need you. Michael took on that
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: responsibility and he felt like I can't just sit here
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I can't just wait. Something needs to be done and
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I need to do it. I need to save Grant.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And so Michael he jumped up and he grabbed the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: extra harness they still had and he put it on.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And as he was doing that, he could hear carry who.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: You know, she's seeing what's happening, and she's telling him,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: don't do it. You don't know what you're doing. You
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: don't know how to go down this thing like this
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: is dangerous or what are you doing? Don't go And
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Michael he just looked at her and he said, I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: have to do this. I know Grant would do this
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: for me. I'm doing it for him. He needs me.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going down and Michael, you know, he's listening to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Carrie's still trying to tell him not to go. But
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: he just said to her, please pray for me. And
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: then he walked over and he attached his harness to
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the same rope that Grant presumably was still attached to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: down at the bottom, but stuck for some reason, into
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the pit. He went. As soon as Michael disappeared into
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: this hole, Carrie knelt down beside the pit. She put
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: her hands together and she prayed as hard as she
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: could for Michael and Grant to be okay. And after
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a few minutes, she heard Michael call out from somewhere
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: in the hole, and for some reason, she could actually
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: understand what Michael was saying, which was basically that he
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and Grant were okay. He was with Grant, you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: but they were just very, very cold. Really flooded over Carrie.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And as she exhaled all the tension she'd been holding in,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and as the adrenaline kind of began to leave her
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: body because now she's thinking everything's okay, she also realized
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: that she too was very cold. She just hadn't been
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: thinking about it. She was so fixated on the safety
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of her boyfriend and also Michael. You know, after all,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: she was only wearing a T shirt, and the cave
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: was very damp, and there's this waterfall kind of spraying
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: water everywhere. It was cold, it was a damp environment,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and so she's you know, her teeth are chattering too,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: she's cold, and so Carrie naturally yelled down into this hole.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: You know, she can't see them, of course, she just
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: yelling into the darkness. You know, what's going on? What's wrong?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: You know, is Grant okay, But Michael just shouted back
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to her I'm fine, I'm fine, but didn't answer her
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: question about Grant. And at this, you know, Carrie could
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: tell clearly there's something really wrong down there and it
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: probably has to do with Grant, and so she stood up.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: She began pacing back and forth, you know, her stomachs
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and knots, and she's periodically yelling down into the hole
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to Michael, like, what's going on? Is Grant okay? Are
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you okay? But Michael, all he would say back to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: her is I'm fine, I'm fine. He would just say
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that back to her, but his response time began to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: slow down. He wasn't responding to each and every one
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: of her calls. He would just you know, yell out
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. But it just it
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: began to become more and more spaced out as Carrie
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: began to ramp up her questioning, asking more and more
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: what's going on, until finally Michael just stopped answering altogether.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: There were no more voices coming out of the hole,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and so the minutes ticked by and Carrie she continued
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to pace around, yelling out to Michael and grant, but
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the only reply she got was the sound of the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: water from the waterfall lapping up against the cave walls.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: About an hour and a half later, just before four pm,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a man named Ann Marmrza, along with two other men
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: ran into the Ellison Cave with a bag of climbing
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: equipment and medical supplies. Now there was a bigger team
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of rescue workers on their way up the mountain behind
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: them that had more gear and more personnel, but that
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: group was moving slowly because it took time to respond
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: to a cave accident, because typically there were a lot
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of people and a lot of equipment, specialized equipment that
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: was required, and also usually the victims were trapped in
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you know, pretty remote and difficult to access places, you know,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: like tunnels and shafts deep inside of these caves. So
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: An Maar and his team were the initial, smaller group
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: that went ahead of the larger one to just kind
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: of get the rescue started. A few minutes after entering
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the cave, and Mar saw a headlamp beam up ahead
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: in the darkness, kind of bobbing around, and as soon
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: as he reached the origin of this light, he found
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a young woman who was sitting by a large hole,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and she was shaking and terrified. She explained that her
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: name was Carrie and that her boyfriend, whose name was Grant,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: along with one of his friends whose name was Michael,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: were down in this hole, and that Grant had gone
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: in there had been some issue, Michael had gone in
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: after him, and now when she called out for them,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: neither of them were responding. After hearing this, and Mar
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: directed one of his team members to take carry and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: bring her out of the cave. And then once they
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: had left, a Mar put on his climbing gear and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: as soon as he was ready, he began to repel
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: down into this pit. As ann Mar repelled, he's looking
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: straight down into this dark shaft and at first he
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: can't see anything, But after a little while he began
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to see somewhere down below were what appeared to be
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: two lights towards the bottom of this pit, which he
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: assumed belonged to the two men. But before he could
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: actually reach them, he felt something wet and freezing cold
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: splash his cheek. Then he saw something emerge out of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the darkness right below him. It would turn out when
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Grant repelled down into this warm up pit, he had
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: made a terrible, terrible mistaken his rig to a section
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: of rock that was directly in the path of a
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: freezing cold waterfall. Now this alone could have been okay.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: You can repel effectively through a waterfall if you're careful,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: except what happened with Grant is as he was repelling
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: literally through the water, like the water is coming off
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: this waterfall, it's hitting him, he got stuck. His rope
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: got tangled, and where he got stuck was literally in
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the path of the waterfall. So he's stuck in the cave.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: He can't go up, he can't go down, and he's
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: just getting pounded by freezing cold water. Now, at first,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: what Grant likely did is kind of flail around to
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: try to get out of the path of this water,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: but there was nowhere to go. He's in this shaft,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: there's nowhere to go, and he's just dangling there and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: he's he began trying to stream out for help, but
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: that was why his words were muffled, because the water
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: was hitting him in the face, so he couldn't speak clearly.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And then also as he's just dangling there very quickly,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: having that icy water hitting him NonStop would have actually
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: sent his body into shock, and it's like he wouldn't
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: have been able to speak or think anymore. I mean,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: he was becoming hypothermic. And then, in what was possibly
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: one of his final moments of clarity, he managed to
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: belt out Michael's name and he said it really clearly,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: kind of managed to get his face out of the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: water for a second. And Michael, who trusted Grant completely,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: when he heard his name being called, it felt like
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: it was his calling. He needed to go in there
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and save Grant himself. And so into the hole he went,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and he hooked his rope up into the same exact
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: spot that Grant had and down he went. And Michael,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: you know, he did an incredibly brave thing by doing this,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and it was something that Grant very likely would have
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: done for him too. But again, Michael really had no
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: idea what he was doing. He was basically just going
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in blind. However, unfortunately, because he just kind of followed
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Grant's lead and went down there without a plan, well
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: in the darkness. As he went down, he eventually reached
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: where Grant was, but got stuck as well, also in
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the path of the waterfall. Granted, he was not nearly
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: as exposed to the water as Grant was like, his
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: face was not getting blasted by water, so he was
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: able to call out and be heard by carry but
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: he also got tangled at the same spot, couldn't move
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: his bodies getting hit by this icy water, and so
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: even though the rescuers did eventually get down to Michael
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and Grant, by the time they did it was too late.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: The two men had froze to death. They basically dangled
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: inside of this hole, getting hit by this water for
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: about two hours before their bodies just shut down. In
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, two years after both Michael and Grant died
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: inside of that cave, the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission gave
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Michael a posthumous medal for risking his life to save Grants.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: On a Friday night in late March of nineteen eighty,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: an eighty three year old man named Harry R. Truman
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: sat on his couch in his Washington State lodge with
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a whiskey and coke and turned on his battery operated
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: radio to listen to the news, and just a second
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: or two later, he found himself having to jack up
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the volume of the radio because he couldn't hear it. Anymore,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: because a couple of his cats in the other room
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: were fighting and yowling and it was causing a whole commotion.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Harry had lost track of how many cats he actually had,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: but it was a lot, you know, maybe a dozen.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And even though at this moment he yelled and cursed
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: at them and told him to knock it off, he
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: was actually glad they were out there with him because
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: he liked their company. Five years earlier, Harry's wife, Edna
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: had died, and since then he had lived alone minus
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: all these cats, and he also didn't have a lot
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: of neighbors either, so for the most part he had
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: been fairly isolated the last few years. Also, Spirit Lake,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the lake that his lodge was on, was four hours
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: south of the major city of Seattle and pretty far
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: into the wilderness. The lake did get busy in the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: summer with Taurus, but at this time in March, there
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: were only about sixty people that lived there and they
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: were very spread out. But Harry didn't really mind the solitude.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: He missed Edna a lot, but he had his cats,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and he had his radio and the jaw dropping mountain
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: scenery and lake, and he had his whiskey and cokes.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So overall, even though he was sort of a gruff guy,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: he was actually quite happy with his life. But just
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: then there was a loud knock on Harry's door, and
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Harry was not surprised by this. I mean, yes, he
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: lives way out in the middle of nowhere and he
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: did not expect visitors, but in this case he knew
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: who it was, and as soon as he thought about that,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: his face contorted into a scowl. He was really annoyed.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: At this point in Harry's life, he really had only
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: one problem, and it was a major problem, at least
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to him, and that was the government. And for the
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: last few days, government agents, like almost certainly the ones
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that were knocking on his door, had been harassing him,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: trying to get him to leave his lodge in the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: wilderness that he loved so much, because they needed to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: conduct some kind of federal operation and they wanted everybody
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to clear out. Now, Harry loved his country, and he'd
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: even fought for it during the First World War, but
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: he really did not like authority and he could not
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: tolerate being told what to do. During Prohibition, for example,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: which was a period of time in the nineteen twenties
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: when alcohol was illegal in America. Harry had simply ignored
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the law and made his own booze like he just
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: didn't care. So over these last few days that these
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: federal agents had come to his house trying to get
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: him to leave, Harry had not been intimidated. He had
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: simply stood his ground, and he figured it was really
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: only a matter of time before the federal government sent
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: a local police officer over and hopes that Harry would
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: be more cooperative with somebody that he likely already knew.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: But what they didn't know about Harry is that Harry
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: really didn't cooperate with anybody, not with the government, certainly,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: not with local police, not with his own family, not
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: with his friends, or not with the two ex wives
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: he'd been with before finding Edna. He was just somebody
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: who who marched to the beat of his own drum. Now,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Harry did not get up to answer the knock at
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: his door. Instead, he just waited until the person out there,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the visitor, yelled through the door and announced who they were.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: And not really to Harry's surprise, it was the local
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: deputy that Harry did know, you know, clearly being sent
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: here by the federal agents to try to get Harry
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to leave, and when Harry still didn't answer the door,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: when the deputy clearly had announced themselves, knowing Harry would
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: know who they were, when Harry still didn't get up,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: didn't answer the door, the deputy finally just sort of frustrated,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: called out, Harry, are you sure you don't want to
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: go now? Even though this deputy was being a whole
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: lot more amicable than the government agents had been, they
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: had been really forceful basically telling him you gotta leave.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: The deputy here was at least kind of giving Harry
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: a chance to make a decision. Despite that, the question
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the deputy had asked just made Harry really mad, because
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: leaving his house was just not something he would ever
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: consider doing. Harry had lived in this lodge for fifty
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: four years, and seven those years were spent running this
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: lodge as an inn as a business with his late wife, Edna,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: who was the love of his life. Now he'd let
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the lodge go a little after she had died, so truthfully,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it was kind of falling apart, and it smelled terrible,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: you know, because of all the cats. But it had
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: been theirs, and now it was his and he would
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: never give it up. And not only that, but just
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: outside his doorstep was Spirit Lake, which Harry believed was
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the most beautiful, perfect place in the entire world. It
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: was quiet and serene and situated right at the base
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: of some of the most breathtaking mountains he had ever
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: seen in his whole life, and so to say Harry
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: loved it here was a complete understatement. His lodge and
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Spirit Lake were basically his whole identity. Harry didn't know
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: if he believed in God, but he did believe in
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the trees and the lake and the birds that screeched
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: at him at all hours of the day. It was
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: like his home. This area was his religion, and he
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: certainly was not about to give it up just because
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: some federal authority or government agent or whoever told him to.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: So all Harry said to the deputy waiting outside was
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: a very firm good night, which Harry was actually quite
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: proud of himself for because he had a really hard
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: time not swearing, so this seemed pretty mild. After that,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Harry waited to see if the deputy would challenge him
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: or say anything else, but he didn't, and moments later,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Harry heard the deputy's footsteps crunching down the gravel driveway
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and heading back towards his cruiser. After that, Harry leaned
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: back into his couch and smiled to himself and picked
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: up his drink, kind of toasting himself or standing his ground,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: and at the same time sort of hoping that maybe
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: now finally officials would understand that he was not going
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: to change his mind. But that's not what happened. A
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: little more than a week later, on the morning of
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: April fifth, Harry sat in a folding chair and a
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: clearing by his house, with his binoculars pressed to his
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: eyes and a glass of whiskey and the cupholder of
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: his chair. This was an area of the woods near
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: his house he called his cocktail lounge, where he'd often
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: go to relax with a drink. It was covered by
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: a a thick canopy of evergreens, but it also had
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: a great view of the mountains and also the lake.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: But Harry was not here to relax. He was actually
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: on very high alert because the woods were absolutely crawling
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: with federal agents and local law enforcement officers. Harry could
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: literally see them right now through his binoculars. Walking around
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: the various camps they had set up all over the
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: mountain side and also near the lake, and there was
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: nobody to stop them, because everybody else who lived in
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: this forest had bowed to the pressure and left when
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: told to, which meant Harry was quite literally the last
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: resident still fighting the good fight. Now, so far, officials
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: had not physically attempted to force him out, But now
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that Harry saw them assembling all over the mountain side,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: he had to wonder how long he had before they
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: did try. But at the same time, he also knew
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: that he had one piece of very important and very
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: surprising leverage over the authorities, and that was that over
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the past couple of days, Harry's refusal to leave his
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: willder in his home just because the government told him
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to had turned him into a media attraction. Reporters had
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: heard about what was going on, and they'd started coming
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: to his house. Now. Usually, Harry just did not like
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the press, you know, even though he clearly listened to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the news himself, he still thought of the press, thought
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: of the media like they were they were vultures, always
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: looking for dead meat and chaos. But Harry also really
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: liked to talk, and he had a lot of very
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: strong opinions, and now seeing his beautiful lake inundated by outsiders,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Harry realized he had to take full advantage of this,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: this media interest in him if he wanted to stay
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: in his home, because the way he saw it was,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the government could really not make him do anything against
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: his will if the whole world was watching. So over
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the next month, Harry gave a lot of interviews and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: pretty quickly he became kind of an international celebrity. He
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: was this single older man standing up to something way
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: bigger and way more powerful, which was admirable, although people
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: didn't really understand it, but it was still a big story.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: It was very interesting. But more than that, it seemed
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: like the public just sort of liked Harry. In his interviews,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Harry would swear and yell and rant and rave and
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: tell reporters about how no authority figure would dare try
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: to get him out of his house. No, I'm not
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: gonna leave it, right, I'm not gonna leave. I'm gonna
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: stay here. Damn right, this is my home. It's gonna
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: have to come and get me, and no authority could
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: take out of here, no authority dare. And he'd also
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: talk about his life, just telling these crazy stories that
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the wilderness, like about the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: whiskey that he'd bottled and distilled during his prohibition days,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: which he called pantherpy, and about his relationship with his
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: late wife and how they used to dance together at
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the edge of the lake, or his war stories from
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: World War One. I mean, this guy was just really
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: quite fascinating. And so by the time May rolled around
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: that year, Harry went from being bombarded by the government
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: to being bombarded by the media. Today, this would be
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: like going crazy viral, where everybody seeing you on their feed.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: But this is nineteen eighty and so people got their
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: news from newspapers and the television and the radio. But
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: those mediums were all full of Harry, and people were
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: kind of obsessed. Everybody from average citizens to school kids
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: sent Harry fan mail, and reporters and news crews came
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: to Harry's and droves, and some even took helicopters just
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to get there more quickly. And Harry, if he was
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: being honest, he sort of relished all the attention. A
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: few months earlier, he'd been happy with his quiet life,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: you know, no phone, and he just had his one
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: thousand cats per company. But now it's like the whole
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: world cared about him, and it was it was pretty cool.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: A few weeks later, though, everything changed. On Sunday, May eighteenth,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the sun came up on Harry's lodge and the woods
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: around it were totally quiet for the first time in
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: weeks because Harry in some ways had won. He had
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: kept his word, and he'd stayed strong and refused to
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: give in to the government's demands to leave, and finally
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the government had backed down, and the sheriff had even
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: come by the day before to tell Harry that, okay,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: you know, no one's going to come by and ask
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: you to leave anymore. It's on you. And so now
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: on May eighteenth, as Harry was getting up, it was
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: just him, the lake, the trees, and the big beautiful mountain.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And then at eight thirty two am that morning, a
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: deafening boom shook the earth. It would turn out the
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: media was not totally finished with the story of Harry R. Truman.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: In fact, what happened on the morning of May eighteenth,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty would in many ways make Harry even more
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: famous than he already was. Because Harry didn't live at
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the base of just any old mountain. His lodge was
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: situated directly at the foot of Mount Saint Helen's, which
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: was an active volcano. The government operation that the federal
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: agents and local law enforcement were trying to run here
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: was an evacuation. They were not trying to impede on
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Harry's rights. They were trying to save him. But Harry
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: was so convinced that the land he loved so much
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: that he had lived on for nearly sixty years would
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: not hurt him, and so he ignored the authority's repeated warnings.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: But Harry's decision was the wrong one, and on May eighteenth,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: he paid for his mistake because that morning, Mount Saint
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Helen's erupted, sending an avalanche of searing lava and mud
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: directly onto Spirit Lake and Harry's lodge, killing him and
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: his cats instantly. His remains were never found. Fifty seven
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: people died during this eruption, including Harry. Today, in that area,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Harry has both a trail and a ridge that are
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: named after him, so in a way, he remains a
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: part of the mountain that he loves so much. Thank
