Last Of Survivors Pulled Out Of Deep Cave

The last of four surviving cave explorers was pulled from one of Europe’s deepest grottos Sunday, tired and undernourished after being trapped for a week but otherwise unhurt.

Miklos Nyerges, 29, of Hungary, was supported by a series of ropes, too weak to climb out of the the Berger Cave on his own.

Two other spelunkers in Nyerges’ group died a week ago during a flash-flooding in the cave, 375 miles southeast of Paris.
