He's a cave diver by profession.
Professional hazard bound to happen sometime.
The irony would have been being saved by the Thai boys...
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 65%. (I'm a bot)
A British diver who helped save a junior football team from a cave in Thailand has himself been rescued from a flooded tunnel in the US after more than a day underground.
Bratchley was part of a crack team of British cave diving experts who helped save 12 schoolboys and their football coach from a flooded cave in Thailand last year.
Bill Whitehouse, vice-chairman of the British Cave Rescue Council, said Bratchley entered Mill Pond Cave on Tuesday to replace a guideline.

Rescue diver Edd Sorenson added: “I could’ve got to him sooner, but I was looking at every nook and cranny looking for a body.
“There were broken lines and it was a very silty, dangerous low cave. We came up to the air pocket and shockingly there he was, calm as could be.
“He just said ‘thank you, thank you. Who are you?”’
Dude is a badass. Even though he needed help, he still was calm.

So basically Jaws 2 with caves.
Jaws 2; was that like The Descent only with sharks?
The Descent is more like Puppy Bowl, but with CHUDs.
ELON!!!!!
