Incident report
Early in the summer two boys went exploring in Reeves Cave in Indiana. They became confused concerning the way out and eventually were overdue. The police were called and they called out local cavers to search the cave. The lost boys were found five minutes from the entrance.
Incident analysis
One could probably make a successful wager that the boys were using flashlights and had no helmets. A recurring type of accident.
