Not many people can say they were rescued out of a cave, but Brooklyn resident Aidan Kaminer sure can.
"Caving is not inherently a dangerous sport," Mark Dickey told CBS News. "It's a dangerous location." It's one he's lucky to have escaped, but can't wait to get back to.
Cave expert Mark Dickey was hit with internal bleeding as he helped chart the Morca cave system, leaving him stuck more than 3,200 feet underground.
An urgent rescue is underway to remove the man from the cave after he became severely ill. CBS New York's Natalie Duddridge has the details.
Mark Dickey is suffering from gastrointestinal bleeding. Rescuers have located him, but now have to bring him up.
