A man is in critical condition after falling thirty five feet, landing in the bottom of a cave. The accident happened Saturday morning, in Marion County, Tennessee just north of Jasper.

Chad Dubuisson and Rick Gattone have both been caving for many years. But this weekend when they headed out to drop forty five feet down into a cave, they had no idea their ropes would fail... sending Gattone plummeting to the bottom, and Dubuisson running for help.
