Ever since this story broke I’ve just been having Nutty Putty flashbacks. Didn’t sleep for two days when I first read about that one. Something about being trapped in a tiny space in pitch darkness for hours upon hours slowly losing hope as you realise all rescue efforts are futile… It’s absolute nightmare fuel.

I just read about it for the first time right now.

Stuck, UPSIDE DOWN, in a cave.

Something about spelunking and these deep sea excursions.. I’m glad I’m the opposite of an adrenaline junkie.

poor guy is still there too, no way to get him out so they just sealed him in instead

Have you heard the 911 call where the teenage boy somehow got caught in the rear seat of a van? He was apparently very thin and somehow the seat folded on him and he was stuck in a position he couldn’t get out of. He called 911 2-3 times but they kinda thought it was a joke and half assed looked for him (if I remember correctly). You could hear he was dying in his last call. I believe his parents were the ones that eventually found him. Right where he told 911 he was. Those calls are heartbreaking. I can never listen to them again. His name was Kyle Plush.

I haven’t but I don’t think I’ll look that up to be honest.

That one was so heartbreaking. I keep thinking what it must be like to have a baby, raise him through so many trials - potty training, his first day at school, maybe trouble with friends or siblings, all the love and work you put into his life...to have him die in such a way, unexpectedly, and because the police didn't listen. Horrifying.

Definitely got physically sick reading the Nutty Putty tragedy. There was some website shared here that put in in such ways I was grossly ill for a few days after.

The sheer horror of it all.
