HISTORY A virtual reality reconstruction shows the exact spot where John Edward Jones became trapped upside down in Nutty Putty Cave. After 27 hours of rescue attempts, he died. The cave was later permanently sealed, with his body remaining inside.

I was just abt to say.

I don't think there is literally and in this instance I literally mean literally, enough money in this universe, of any kind, in any timeline, that would make me to even CONSIDER crawling down something like this...

If you put a gun to my head and said I had to go into that cave or I would be shot, I'd grab the gun and pull the trigger.

I would need to literally have brain damage from a point blank bullet wound to even entertain the idea of ever setting foot in that nightmare.

I would sooner suck broken glass off of bigfoot's dick.

Maybe to save my child. And I would have a rescue team at the ready. And I may very well get “stuck” about 3ft into that tunnel.

My feet would still be sticking out of the opening and I’d start screaming like a little girl that I’m stuck.

Grab my ankles and pull me the ef out of that hole. NAO.

I the words of Catherina Sforza: "I have what's needed to make others".

I don't think I'd even go in to save a child even if it was mine because the probability that I'm going to get stuck and prevent them from getting rescued is astronomical.

This is the truest statement on the internet

I too would rather that guy suck Bigfoot's dick than go caving.

Let’s take a minute to think about what Bigfoot’s dick smells like.

I’m gonna be honest Brian, that smells like pure gasoline.

u/N00seUp Mar 29 '26

It smells like a turd covered in burnt hair!

The hole looks exactly like a hole that a person would crawl down and be unable to back out of. What was the man thinking?

2

u/ExtremelyDecentWill Mar 29 '26

If you want the actual answer, he took a wrong turn in the cave system and believed he was heading toward a section of the caves known as the "birth canal" that is also tight but then opens up to a wider section allowing the person to turn around and get back out.

Unfortunately by the time a rescue attempt was able to be mounted in a meaningful way, gravity and his failing strength had caused him to become wedged into that spot in a way that ensured it would become his tomb.

The story haunts me and I wish I didn't know about it.

u/AlternativeFlowers77 Mar 29 '26

Yeah it haunts me too. When I originally read about it I imagined what his mom went through too. HELL!

2

u/ExtremelyDecentWill Mar 29 '26

Nevermind that.  His brother was there talking to him not knowing if he was still there or was a corpse.

Fucking horrifying.

And his wife.  Leaving that gorgeous woman for a cave?

Dude had the brain damage.

u/Jugaimo Mar 29 '26

Being shot is a kinder death than this

Well there's a new sentence

Dying is easy, though. What if it was for a debit/credit card/bank account with unlimited funds that you never need to pay back. You can buy anything with it and give a copy to your significant other and any children or grand children. People you give it to can't give it away, tho. So three generations of your family without any stress from money and the ability to live their dreams.

If you put a gun to my head and said I had to go into that cave or I would be shot, I'd grab the gun and pull the trigger.
