Yes, I have been in contact with Bill for many years.

[Texascavers] accident in Peru
For what it's worth (not a lot), here is what Google makes of the Spanish report from the scene sent this morning by Gustavo Vela. Last Saturday I touched down to -400 m to the doctor Cecilio a Lima firefighter who had never entered a cave. Diagnosis is which may have a broken vertebra. Cecilio okay, calm and in good spirits. It is stable and waiting to do the extraction. On the surface the situation is complicated receive support from the national police, fire and air force but all arrived without food or tents and nobody knows cave, so the aid has been nil. We have almost no food at base camp. We have asked for support Mayor of Chachapoyas but we question who will pay the food we ordered, which is why I ask all brothers cavers Spain to lobby insurance for Cecilio Lopez payer bailout since neither paid tickets 6 tickets rescuers coming from this country. If all goes well tomorrow afternoon begin extraction. in will be effective 16 Spaniards, 4 Frenchmen who came voluntarily, and 4 of the expedition. Goggle often seems to have trouble with Gustavo's Spanish.--Bill Do you really think it is weakness to yield to temptation?

Re: [Texascavers] Caving accident in Peru
Hey Josh. I got an update from Gustavo, who is on site as part of the expedition. They say that their biggest problem right now is that the local authorities are not willing with provide food without a clear indication of who will pay for it. There was no mention of equipment needs or personnel needs. There was a medical evaluation of the patient and he may have a fractured vertebra. If there are no further delays the maneuvers to get the patient out of the cave should begin tomorrow afternoon. - Fofo. > On 22/09/2014, at 10:49, Josh Rubinstein via Texascavers > wrote: > > Ed, > > Any further news about this rescue?
