 Mexico agrees to host Iran’s World Cup team after U.S. declines to accommodate squad, Sheinbaum says    Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that Mexico has agreed to host the Iranian national football team during the upcoming World Cup after the United States declined to accommodate the squad. Sheinbaum said the decision followed a request from FIFA, which sought an alternative arrangement after U.S. officials indicated they did not want Iran’s team staying in the country for the duration of the tournament, even though Iran is scheduled to play all of its group-stage matches on U.S. soil. “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference, adding that Mexico accepted the request in coordination with tournament organizers. Iranian football federation officials said the team’s base of operations would be relocated from Arizona to Tijuana, near the U.S.-Mexico border, to simplify travel logisti...

AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE SITUATION UNFOLDED ON MAY 17TH WHEN A MAN BECAME STUCK IN A NARROW SECTION OF A CAVE IN NEW YORK.(PHOTO).


 An absolute nightmare situation unfolded on May 17th when a man became stuck in a narrow section of a cave in New York. 


This incident unfolded at Merlins Cave in Canaan, New York, when the victim and 4 friends, all of whom are experienced cavers, began exploring the cave.


The group made it to a particularly narrow section nicknamed "The Beartrap" when the victim became stuck. The ceiling is only 12 inches from the floor in this section.

It quickly became apparent that this was an emergency, and one friend crawled out of the cave and called 911.


The call went out at 6:30 p.m. and it would take until 9 p.m. before a rescue team could be assembled and arrive. 


The temperature inside of the cave was 50 degrees, with 100 percent humidity. These conditions made hypothermia a significant risk for the man that was trapped and unable to move. 


Forest Ranger, Lt. Jim Gullen, who led the rescue mission, said, "He was really jammed in there, more than I expected. It was like his full body was stuck in a crevice that was basically designed to the exact shape of him."


That sounds like a nightmare.


The crew quickly got to work using straps and, over the course of three hours of nonstop work, had moved the victim 6 to 10 inches.


However, at this point, a nub of rock halted their efforts. The decision was made to attempt to remove the nub, and a drill, hammer, and chisel had to be retrieved. 


After receiving the tools and some very precarious work, only inches from the victim's head, the nub finally broke free. The victim was able to squirm free at that point, ending his nightmare. 


The entire ordeal lasted six hours. Everyone involved commended the victim for his calm and poise throughout his predicament.


Great job, everyone.


Thanks to Steve Featherstone for letting the public know this happened. 


Be safe during this summer's activities, everyone.
