“It has never been necessary to carry out a rescue operation at such a depth (1,040 meters, 3,400 feet) before”, said Ms Zsófia Zádor, a medical doctor of the Hungarian Cave Rescue Service (in the centre of the headline photo), who returned to the surface on Sunday, 10th September, after spending seven days in the Morca cave in southern Turkey. Most members of the rescue team arrived at the scene as fast as possible on board the Airbus A319 transport aircraft of the Hungarian Defence Forces.
