Yeah now to a story thats gripped us for days. The pain staking rescue of a man who has been trapped for 11 days in germanys deepest cave has finally come to an end. He suffered head injuries from falling rocks. He has been wenched up slowly through the complex cave system. Why did this dramatic rescue Operation Take so long . Take a look. This is the deepest and longest cave. More than a thousand meters deep. When he was injured in the fall he was 1,000 meters underground at the time. It took his companion 12 hours to get out and alert help. It took 12 days to get him out. At each point they stopped and cared for his injuries. He has been now airlifted for hospital treatment. Michael tell us what it was like when he was finally wenched up to safety. Reporter there was a huge jubilation scream here with the helpers and organizers that tried so long for so many days to recover. When it was done at 11. 44, when his head came up out of this cave there was a huge elation here. They call it the wonder. They think nowhere in the world has ever been completed such a very, very and complicated rescue. He has been air lifted to a hospital. Any idea how hes doing . Reporter we dont have information on that. There is a press Conference Starting in a few minutes here. I guess well hear. We know his condition is stable. His injuries were severe. So called injury that shumaker also suffered. They had to be gentle with him on his way up. They tried to put him in a package so to say that he was not moved a lot around. That took a very long time. His condition is stable. The injuries are severe. He is as you said now on his way to a hospital nearby. Briefly michael were seeing remarkable pictures of this rescue. It was so dramatic. It gripped people for so many days. Those involved, what was the rescue they found the most challenging . It was the last part. First of all because it is really very hard to manage to go these huge distances. Especially the depth of this cave. It might actually be some of the helpers were exhausted. There were 16 in the cave. They tried to do it very, very slow. The last chamber just near to the exit was about two meters deep, more than the dome. They had to get him up by hand craft. That was very exhausting. Afterwards they had another three narrow caves they had to put him through. They finally managed to do that in 11. 44. He was out. Fascinating story. Thank you for bringing details to us on that remarkable rescue. You know a teenager, im sure you know theyre particular about what they wear. Most students in the u. S. Dont have to wear a school uniform. That doesnt mean clothes are deemed unappropriate to wear such as a short skirt or backless top. Some complain the rules are enforced. Girls are punished because administrators think theyre distraktdidi distracts to boys. Girls have started a web page to try to change policies and attitud attitudes. Everyday you see more stories of schools banning girls from wearing certain things because its quote unquote distracting to young men and boys. Boys animalistic cant control themselves. This outfit is not okay for my school because its above my fingertips. This would also not be acceptable because it has the smallest part in the back thats open. It shouldnt be that you cant wear something that makes you feel comfortable because other people have opinions about it. It will distract their learning when the real distraction is whatever is going on in their minds not what im wearing. Funny, i didnt know that much about the dress code until my youngest daughter came home from school one day and told me she had been punished for violating the dress code. The punishment included wearing a large oversize shirt to cover her body. I kept thinking about that. What did it mean . Shorts that are short or pants. Youll find find to your knee length or past your fingertips. Schools around the country ban leggings and yoga pants. That makes a girl feel like theyre the problem. Thats embarrassing and humiliating. The first time was eighth grade. The administrator measured my thigh to inform me my skirt was in fact mid thigh. I remember feeling incredibly shamed. I was standing in front of another student laying in the Nurses Office crying as they held a rule tore my leg. It was the first time i felt my body was an object. Something i could measure like a piece of paper. There was this massacre in Santa Barbara a couple of weeks ago as the weather was starting to get warm here and dress code emails started going out to families and girls. I thought wow, what does that say when an 11yearold boy fearing announcements in school chastising girls for wearing clothing and the underlying message is theyre distracting him in ways he cant control. Of course that message is going to carry through. Its not surprising that by the time hes 13, 15, 18 years old theres this undertone of a problem women are to him. Im more than a distraction. Its a movement to reinforce respect for girls. Im more than an attraction. Girls are more than what theyre wearing. Theyre more than body parts. More than short or legs or breasts or butt. Theyre more than all of that. Theyre people. Girls are people. Thats an arctticulate group of young women standing up for themselves. Stay with us on the next half hour.
