Six cavers died in a 1967 Yorkshire cave flood; one survived to summon help, but all were trapped by rising water.
On June 24, 1967, six experienced cavers died in Mossdale Caverns, Yorkshire, after torrential rains caused sudden flooding that trapped them.
One member, Morag Forbes, ran over two miles to alert rescuers, triggering a large-scale effort involving more than 300 personnel.
Despite attempts to divert water, access was blocked until the next day, when five bodies were found.
The sixth victim, John Ogden, was recovered days later.
The cave remains closed and classified as Grade 5 due to extreme danger.
