Five people emerged wet, shivering but happy late Saturday after being trapped in a cave for about seven hours by a flash flood. The five spelunkers crawled out of Onesquethaw Cave to the cheers of about 100 rescue workers gathered around the cave's entrance. The five were taken to hospitals for observation, although officials at the scene said they appeared healthy. Authorities identified the spelunkers as Laura Selicaro, 20; Lynn Cowan, 22; Peter Bowie, 20; Scott Baisch, 22; and Nicholas Springer, 20, all members of the Syracuse University Outing Club. They were trapped in the cave when a beaver dam upstream of the cave's entrance burst.
