EPISODE 3: “BENEATH THE SURFACE: UNDERGROUND SURVIVAL” Summary “Beneath the Surface” explores the terrifying experiences of individuals trapped underground in caves, mines, and collapsed structures with no certainty of rescue. The episode follows stories like that of John Jones, whose caving expedition ended in tragedy in Utah’s Nutty Putty Cave; Aron Ralston’s lesser-known story of rescuing climbers from a snow-filled cave; and the Chilean miners who survived 69 days trapped 2,300 feet underground.
