“The truth, always the truth–at all costs”
I will strive to give you perspectives on the news that you will rarely receive from other sources. At times, there will be eye-witness reports from troubled areas, at other times, there will be documentary,interviews and other interesting works.
I am committed to providing information by posting/archiving videos, articles, and links. I also investigate to raise awareness on numerous issues, inspire critical thinking, involvement, and hopefully to help make our world a better place for all.
According to a recently published report, the report states Germany’s mountain rescue service says it could complete the rescue of an injured cave researcher from the country’s deepest cave on Thursday or Friday as experts make good progress through the labyrinth’s passages and shafts.
Johann Westhauser suffered head injuries June 8 while nearly 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) underground in the Riesending cave system in the Alps near the Austrian border. Teams of rescue experts embarked last Friday to bring Westhauser, who is strapped to a stretcher, to the surface.
By Tuesday, they had raised him to about 500 meters (1,640 feet) below the ground.
Mountain rescue official Stefan Schneider told reporters the operation is on schedule.
