# Becka's Rescue, 1989

Rebecca Lawson about eight hours after her accident below the squeeze in Kaninchenhöhle in 1989. She has just reached the surface and is pointing out which bit of her leg is broken to the Austrian Cave Rescue Doctor and Karl Gaisberger, our long-time Austrian contact. The doctor (left) is looking a little disappointed because Becka is so cheerful and doesn't need the drip he has carefully been warming to body temperature in the sun.
