On NovemJohn Jones, his brother Josh, and 9 other friends met at the Nutty Putty Cave at 8pm to do some exploring together over the Thanksgiving break. He had grown up caving with his father and brother and was confident in his caving abilities and knowledge of the area. John Jones was a 26-year-old medical student who was happily married and expecting his second child with his wife. The cave had been closed off for three years beginning in 2006 and reopened on May 18, 2009.

Efforts had recently been made to decrease tourism to the cave because inexperienced explorers kept getting lost or stuck and needing rescue. To give you a picture of its shape, sections of the cave are named “The Birth Canal” and “The Aorta Crawl”. It is known for its small and twisting tunnels. The Nutty Putty Cave is a cave in Elberta, Utah named for the clay found within. It is an extremely sobering and tragic story about the dangers of exploring the unknown. This story is similar to 127 Hours but without the part where James Franco’s character gets to go home to his family at the end. Read on only if you are okay with the possibility of developing a fear of caves and enclosed spaces. In 2009 an American man named John Edward Jones lost his life in probably the worst way possible while exploring the Nutty Putty Cave in Utah. R.I.P John Edward Jones.By Chrissy Stockton Updated December 22, 2021 Since Johns death, the Nutty Putty cave has been sealed off for good, and considered a grave as Johns remains are still down there. Johns last words were “I’m not going to come out of here, am I?”. John died from cardiac arrest after he had been stuck upside down for 28 horrifying hours. A doctor was sent down to determine Johns medical condition, when he pronounced dead. It seemed to be working, until one of the ropes snapped and John fell back down into the cave. They tied ropes to Johns legs and pulled at an attempt to get him out. The only option they had was to use the rope-pully method. But by pulling Johns legs, he only slipped farther down the cave. Johns brother, Josh, tried to help him get out. He had taken the wrong turn, and now he was stuck 100ft upsidedown under ground. John was looking to find the Birth Canal as he climbed through tight, tight narrow spaces- until John realized he had made a tragic mistake. John knew the cave was narrow and tight, but he knew he could get through Birth Canal.

John and his brothers loved exploring caves when they were younger, so they were excited to explore the Nutty Putty. Wednesday, November 25th, 2009, John Edwards Jone decided to go explore the Nutty Putty cave in Western Utah. #trending #horror #creepy #facts #storytime #greenscreenvideo Explosives were used to collapse the ceiling close to Jones' body, and the entrance hole was filled with concrete to prevent further access. Rescuers concluded that it would be too dangerous to attempt to retrieve his body the landowner and Jones' family came to an agreement that the cave would be permanently closed, with the body sealed inside, as a memorial to Jones. Jones ultimately suffered cardiac arrest due to the strain placed upon his body over several hours by his inverted, compressed position. Still, they were unable to retrieve Jones using a sophisticated rope-and-pulley system after a pulley failed mid-extrication. A large team of rescue workers came to his assistance. Jones was held in place like a hook, unable to move without causing serious harm due to the bends his body was placed in. While exploring with his brother Josh, Jones mistook a narrow tunnel for the similarly tight "Birth Canal" passageway and became stuck upside-down in an area measuring 10 by 18 inches (25 by 46 cm), around 400 feet (120 m) from the cave's entrance. On November 24, 2009, a man named John Edward Jones became stuck and subsequently died in the Nutty Putty cave after being trapped inside for 28 hours.
