Part 7/15:
On March 27th, 1982, Donald Welner and his two sons led a group of Boy Scouts into the Crooked Swamp Cave System in pursuit of an adventurous day. Donald had experience in caving, and despite the narrow passages, he felt confident that if he could pass through, so could the rest of the group. But what began as an exploration quickly turned into a frantic mission for survival.
The Tragedy of Being Trapped
As they entered the cave, Donald decided to investigate a small passageway that appeared to lead further into the cave. Unfortunately, the passage turned out to be far narrower than anticipated, and as he squeezed through, the ground below him gave way, sending him sliding into a narrow crevice.
