That's so sad! I've never actually known someone who has been in a caving accident, but that's one of my greatest fears-- that I'll end up in a cave, stuck.

My prayer goes to the teenage boy's family and friends. I have a fear being inside the cave, I can imagine how scary it could be being stuck there.

That's terrible, how horrible for his family. I am not a big fan of caves or any enclosed spaces. I am too claustrophobic and they are too dark for me.

That's horrible! That poor boy's family is going to suffer forever. I've lost a son and you never get over it. The holidays just make it worse too. I'll be remembering them when I talk to the Big Guy upstairs. No one should have to lose a child.

This is the reason why I'm so nervous when I enter caves. I don't stay in there for so long because I'm afraid something bad might happen.

I hope the park authorities will do their best in securing caves.
