  1. I respect all that sports but this climbing or get somewhere by hanging on to a rope is stupid..There is a so many good things to do in Turkey..

  2. Why do people go to places they do not belong
    Do they have a deathwish?
    Now look at the cost to rescue this reckless person
    The rescuers themselves could get hurt or worse
    Smh

  3. At least he isnt stuck up side down 🙂

  4. The man is NOT trapped or Lost.
    He is to ill to climb back out.
    HE IS ACTUALLY WITH THE NATIONAL CAVE RESCUE COMMISSION. MAPPING OUT THE CAVE.
    LEAVE IT TO MSM TO NOT FULLY INFORM THEIR VIEWERS. AND ACTUALLY MIS REPRESENT THE STORY.

  5. Wow. Almost a pointless clip. No narration. Lazy reporting.

  6. In a place like that how I’d he get help???

  7. Ways to not get trapped. Don’t spilunk.

  8. Why would any american wanna visit a country that claims they hate americans

  9. Rescuers working to save a life, good. When the U.S. spent $250,000. to get a female scientist back from Antarctica because she had found a lump that MIGHT be breast cancer, a bit more questionable. But here is something I don't understand, at least applying to the U.S.- we will spend $100K on efforts to get an offshore sailor back to shore or bring a guy down from a mountain where he has a broken leg, or millions to try to find a sub going to the Titanic, or (adjusted for inflation) millions to find a famous aviatrix in the Pacific, generally all paid for by the govt. and thus taxpayers. But then we cannot provide fairly simple surgery in a timely manner to save a person's life, a person who was not engaging in a hazardous activity, because their insurance does not approve. And don't tell me it does not happen, as I was kicked out of a hospital at the insistence of an insurer when docs said I should stay longer. Also when I was in chemo, my chemo nurse was instructed to call the BILLING dept, NOT the oncologist, before proceeding with my treatments each week.

  10. Not much effort put in, hardly a clue. Maybe send an Actual Reporter.😮

  11. Was he hiding from his ex wife???

  12. I guess he didn't watch 127 hours😢

  13. 'they tried as hard as they could, but "it" is american'

  14. I know they're not going to read this, but I'd like to thank the Turkey for going out of their way to rescue a person not of their country. You guys are the best!

  15. I can't wait to vote for President Trump the GOAT
    TRUMP 2024
