| McNutt, Tim | 20 | Not recorded | Not recorded | Not recorded |
At p.m. on Tuesday, November 22, group of three cavers entered an un-named cave in an abandoned quarry in Knoxville, Tennessee. Each carried a flashlight but had no other caving equipment. The three paused in a room for a smoke break. At about 7:30 p.m. Tim McNutt (20) said he wanted to check something and left. He failed to return. About an hour later the others left and reported McNutt lost in the cave. The cave is complex and has more than one entrance. During the night two rescue teams entered and passed each other in opposite directions. They tried again the next day and finally heard McNutt yell. He was brought out at about 3 p.m. Wednesday.
It appears that McNutt's inadequate light source failed.
Tim McNutt was lost in an un-named cave in Knoxville, Tennessee due to an inadequate light source but was rescued after more than 24 hours.
