On March 16, 1968, 8 people were trapped and later rescued in the cave.[2][3] In 1976, an amateur caver was trapped in the cave for more than 15 hours, falling 40 feet to the cave floor after an equipment malfunction.[4] In 1977, a climber was trapped in the waterfall and froze to death.[5] Cass Cave has the highest subterranean waterfall in West Virginia and Virginia, Lacy Suicide Falls, with a height of 139 ft. The cave is not open to the general public.[6] One of the rooms in the cave is 800 ft long, 180 ft high and 75 ft wide.[7] The June 1964 Issue of National Geographic featured a photograph of the waterfall.[8] References1. ^{{cite book|title=Bulletin of the National Speleological Society|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IaJeAAAAIAAJ|year=1966|publisher=National Speleological Society}} 2. ^{{Cite web| title = ER-NCRC - Cave Rescue, March 16, 1968, Cass Cave, WV| work = Caves.org| year = 1968| accessdate = 2016-03-14| url = http://caves.org/commission/ncrc/ncrc-er/03166801.HTM}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/7579622/spelunker_rescued/|title=Spelunker Rescued|work=The Raleigh Register|location=Beckley, West Virginia|date=18 Mar 1968|page=2|via=Newspapers.com|accessdate=24 November 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/7579576/man_rescued_from_cave/|title=Man rescued from cave|work=The News|location=Frederick, Maryland|date=1 Sep 1976|page=16|via=Newspapers.com|accessdate=24 November 2016}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/7579544/climbing_accident_is_fatal/|title=Climbing Accident Is Fatal|work=The Times Recorder|location=Zanesville, Ohio|date=31 Aug 1977|page=2|via=Newspapers.com|accessdate=24 November 2016}} 6. ^{{cite book|author=Kevin Adams|title=Waterfalls of Virginia and West Virginia: A Hiking and Photography Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KOnHiX7xIKIC&pg=PA32|date=1 June 2002|publisher=Menasha Ridge Press|isbn=978-0-89732-414-4|pages=32–}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/7579647/features_of_cass_cave/|title=Features of Cass Cave|author=John Hodel|work=Beckley Post-Herald|location=Beckley, West Virginia|date=30 Jun 1963|page=17|via=Newspapers.com|accessdate=24 November 2016}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/7579721/wv_tourist_interest_is_on_increase/|title=WV Tourist Interest Is On Increase|work=Cumberland Evening Times|location=Cumberland, Maryland|date=17 August 1964|page=7|via=Newspapers.com|accessdate=24 November 2016}} External links
