Rescuers are waiting for doctors’ OK to extract cave researcher Mark Dickey, who fell ill on a mapping expedition in Turkey’s third-deepest cave.
An international team of more than 170 rescuers has set up a complicated medical relay system in Turkey’s third-deepest cave to aid speleologist Mark Dickey, 40. But it still could take a week or more to get him to the surface, depending on how sick he is.
Rescuers predicted that Dickey will need to stop and rest repeatedly as he exits the cave, one of the factors playing into predictions it could take a week or more before he reaches the surface. “If he comes up on a stretcher it could last 10 days,” Salci said. “If he is assisted up, then we plan to bring him up in four or five days.”
