What would you do if someone was trapped more than 1,000 feet inside a flooded cave? In 1992, David Gant became trapped inside Tennessee's Nickajack Cave with his scuba air running out and only a tiny pocket of air keeping him alive. Rescuers searched for him, found an old map of the cave, and came up with an incredible solution... They lowered the lake. The water level dropped, giving Gant more air space and rescuers a better chance of reaching him. After roughly 16 hours underground, rescuers finally heard his voice. He was alive.
