<p>Nine days after being trapped in narrow tunnels of a Turkish cave, an international team of rescuers finally managed to pull out Mark Dickey, a US-based explorer to safety on Tuesday (September 12).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Described as one of the largest and most complicated underground rescue operations ever mounted, an international team of 200 rescuers was pressed into service to pull off the miracle.</p>

<p>"Mark Dickey was removed from the last exit of the cave," the Turkish Caving Federation said, adding that the "cave rescue part of the operation has ended successfully."</p>

<p>The 40-year-old explorer was examining the depths of the Morca Cave, a remote complex of twisting underground passageways in southern Turkey's Taurus Mountains, when he fell ill. Stuck at a depth of 1,120 metres (3,695 feet), Dickney developed stomach problems, leading to internal bleeding.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, the Morca Cave is Turkey's third-deepest, its lowest point reaching nearly 1.3 kilometres (0.8 miles) below ground.</p>

India: 2-year-old kid stopped breathing on airplane. What followed next was a miracle

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuids5RFXWhtwGIo" /><meta charset="utf-8" />The rescuers have found the bodies of all four people who were on board the fateful Cessna 340 aircraft that crashed on the western side of Mount Mayon — one of the Philippines' most active volcanoes.</p>

<p>The two Filipino pilots and two Australian passengers have been confirmed dead and the challenge now remains to retrieve their bodies. Heavy rain can wash down the debris which makes it highly difficult for the rescue team to go about its business.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“There were no survivors,” said Caloy Baldo, mayor of the Camalig town where the aircraft crashed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong also extended her condolences to the families of the bereaved.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The families of those who we have lost will be grieving and I express not only our sympathy and condolences but to say to them, our hearts go out to them in this time of great grief," said Wong.&nbsp;</p>

The rescuers have found the bodies of all four people who were on board the fateful Cessna 340 aircraft that crashed on the western side of Mount Mayon — one of the Philippines' most active volcanoes.

The rescuers have found the bodies of all four people who were on board the fateful Cessna 340 aircraft that crashed on the western side of Mount Mayon — one of the Philippines' most active volcanoes. The two Filipino pilots and two Australian passengers have been confirmed dead and the challenge now remains to retrieve their bodies. Heavy rain can wash down the debris which makes it highly difficult for the rescue team to go about its business. “There were no survivors,” said Caloy Baldo, mayor of the Camalig town where the aircraft crashed. Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong also extended her condolences to the families of the bereaved. "The families of those who we have lost will be grieving and I express not only our sympathy and condolences but to say to them, our hearts go out to them in this time of great grief," said Wong.
