Isère: a rise in water in a cave surprises a school outing, three people still stranded – LaDepeche.fr

the essential On a school outing to the Cuves de Sassenage in Isère, a group of schoolchildren and their supervisors were surprised by a sudden rise in water. Three adults are still trapped underground. A rising water surprised a class of college students on a school outing. The Dauphiné Libéré explains that the facts took place on the site of the Cuves de Sassenage. If all the college students were able to get out, three people are still trapped underground this Thursday afternoon. According to information from our colleagues, the three speleologists, two state-certified instructors and a teacher from a college in Saint-Ismier (Isère), are said to be stuck about a hundred meters deep. They supervised the school outing in this underground network and all the students were able to get out before the sudden and violent flood. The rescue operation is therefore still in progress. A team from the Group for reconnaissance and intervention in perilous environments (Grimp) is mobilized, as well as about thirty speleologists.
