The article had links to a flickr slide show of the cave. And it also had a 
link to a google map location for the cave.

It's funny how news agencies all report that the man was "trapped" in the cave, 
which to me would indicate he had something pinning him down or that a collapse 
prevented getting out of the cave. News writers really don't appreciate that 
cavers are happy underground and that they put themselves there on purpose. So 
being underground a little longer than planned is just perhaps inconvenient. 

 
Maybe they could rewrite the story along those lines: "An injured 51-year-old 
caver got to stay in the cave longer than expected as he was helped along by 
rescuers."
