The horrifying story of John Jones, a 26-year-old young man who decided to explore narrow tunnels on November 24, 2009 with his brother Josh in the Nutty Putty Caves west of Utah Lake, would turn into a nightmare.
John grew up in the area and was even familiar with the caves since he visited them several times, he knew what safety measures he had to take to explore them since they contain a network of tunnels narrow enough for a person of average height to pass through with hands and knees.
That fateful November 24, Josh decided to organize an exploration of the Nutty Putty caves since John was visiting Utah and would be staying for holidays, John who had always liked exploration accepted along with nine other people including friends and family, his wife Emily was expecting their second child so she didn't go.
Finally the group arrived at 8:00 at night and began to descend through the caves, they wanted a challenge and it was to pass the narrowest tunnels of the place, for this they needed to make a class of stealth movements, an hour after having entered the caves the group separated into a formation called the Birth Canal and this sends you to narrower caves in the shape of a circle, but John chose the wrong path and got into a rather narrow tunnel which generated that when advancing each time it was getting narrower and narrower.
Moments passed and he realized that this was not the tunnel he was looking for, the more he got in with his head and arms the harder it was to return. He was stuck and he thought that the only way to get out of that mess was to continue ahead given that there was no way to turn back.
