Cave researcher saved after 72 hours - drama in Bergamo!

Bergamo, Italien - The dramatic rescue of the 32-year-old cave researcher Ottavia Piana from northern Italy continues to cause a stir. After more than 72 hours in the Abisso Bueno Fonteno cave near Bergamo, she was recovered on Wednesday night. Piana was seriously injured in a fall during her exploration tour and had to be saved in an elaborate use. More than 150 rescuers from 13 regions, including South Tyrol and the Trentino, were involved in the operation.

The rescue operation was extremely complex due to the difficult conditions. Piana had to be fixed on a stretcher, while the rescuers struggled through narrow, slippery corridors. Finally, the rescue was at 2:59 a.m. - a moment that was captured by numerous cameras. The helicopter brought them directly to the "Papa Giovanni XXIII" hospital in Bergamo, where doctors began with the stabilizing operation of their injuries. According to the treating doctors, Piana is now in the intensive care unit and is in a stable state, as krone.at reported.

renewed controversy about rescue operations

The return to the cave was not the first adventure of Piana; She had already got into difficulties in the same cave in July 2023. This raises questions: Critics on social media expressed concerns about the high costs for the rescue measures and accused the researcher of having negligent. Federico Catania from the mountain and cave rescue, however, defended it after the rescue. "We do not judge the people we help," he emphasized, while Piana himself apologized for the enormous effort that her rescue required, like the Kurier reported.

Despite her serious injuries, Piana was relieved and happy after her rescue when she was received by her boyfriend. However, public attention and controversy around their adventures could result in a re -evaluation of responsibility for such activities.
