My worst nightmare

... is being trapped in a small tube or narrow cave unable to move or get help.

This is the closest thing to it.
A man thought by doctors to be in a vegetative state for 23 years was actually conscious the whole time. I shudder to think about it.

I have the same fear as you Alan...and you are right...this might be worse! How very sad for this man.

I am glad this man is able to communicate now. What a testiment to the human spirit!

Don't ever see the Vanishing, especially the original Dutch/French version.

In Utah a spelunker experienced this fate this past week. What horror.

I've been following the spelunker story. They ended up closing the cave with his body still stuck in the crevice. I shiver at the thought of dying in a tight squeeze like that.
