Speleologist Piana out of cave after 3-day ordeal

A woman speleologist, Ottavia Piana,
was pulled out of the Abisso Bueno Fonteno cave by near Bergamo
by rescuers at 3:15 on Wednesday, ending an ordeal that started
when she got injured in a fall on Saturday.

   
The 32-year-old woman was taken to a Bergamo hospital by
helicopter after reportedly suffering injuries to her vertebrae
and ribs and fractures to her facial bones and a knee.

   
Piana, a caving instructor, got stuck in the same cave last
year, spending two days in it with a broken leg at a depth of
150 metres in a spot not far from where she fell this time.
