About this listen

EPISODE 3: "BENEATH THE SURFACE: UNDERGROUND SURVIVAL" Summary "Beneath the Surface" explores the terrifying experiences of individuals trapped underground in caves, mines, and collapsed structures with no certainty of rescue. The episode follows stories like that of John Jones, whose caving expedition ended in tragedy in Utah's Nutty Putty Cave; Aron Ralston's lesser-known story of rescuing climbers from a snow-filled cave; and the Chilean miners who survived 69 days trapped 2,300 feet underground. The episode examines the unique challenges of underground survival, including absolute darkness, confined spaces, limited air supply, psychological pressure, and the complex rescue operations that sometimes succeed—and sometimes fail. Through expert analysis and survivor testimony, the episode reveals both the physical techniques and mental strategies critical to surviving when trapped beneath the earth.
