A seasoned cave explorer was freed from the depths of an uncharted cave system in the Italian Alps for the second time in a dramatic four-day rescue.
Ottavia Piana, 32, was injured on Saturday evening while mapping a section of the cave, falling about 13 feet and sustaining multiple injuries, including to her face, ribs and knee, AP reported. Despite her injuries, she remained alert as a team of more than 120 rescuers worked to bring her to safety.
