Dozens of rescuers helped an experienced cave explorer make it to the surface Saturday after he was injured in a fall more than 3 miles underground in the Southern Hemisphere's second-deepest cave. Kieran McKay, who smashed the left side of his body after plunging down a rock wall, hobbled during parts of the 3.4-mile underground journey but was carried most of the way on a stretcher. McKay, 30, was flown to see his father, then taken for treatment to a hospital, where a spokeswoman said he was ``stable and in very good spirits'' despite his injuries.
