no light at all

Yes, one night, in my area, the lights were completely out for my entire area. The police were chasing someone and they had to hunt the man in the dark so that they could arrest him. The lights were turned back on after several hours, but it was pretty scary.

I read the first sentence and said "a cave". We just took a cave tour two Sundays ago, and they turned the lights off so that we could experience total darkness. yes, being without light for a long time would be terrible, but blind people adjust. And I'm assuming that totally blind people DO live in total darkness.

I had been to Ratangad, a remote place in Maharashtra, India. A beautiful hill station, enjoyed the nature in the morning with the fellow guys. But when it turned dusk, we started staring each other as the village don't have the power. Its totally black and we had to literally catch each others hands and move. That was the night I was most afraid of. Somehow we spent that night and fled away next morning. But think of the people spending all their nights without light. It is hardly possible for me think without light.

Would imagine it gets very claustrophobic down there and wouldn't like to imagine the toilet arrangements. As a group though, no doubt they are finding various ways to keep themselves amused. But what a long wait! - Possibly till Christmas!!!

I can not imagine it savypat..not even for an hour much less as long as those miners have suffered it. That is a worst fear for some people and I bet it will be one for some of those miners once they get out. I bet their eyes will also take a long time to readjust too.

Having no light at all is so bad,I experience this when my childhood. In night were just sleep early.And i cannot see any movies because their is no electricity at that time.

I have been in a cave where they turned out all the lights and it was pitch black. It gave me the creeps, very eerie and frightening! I think those miners had retreated to a shelter that a lot of mines have now and there were light sources but I'm sure they had a couple of minutes with no light. I can only imagine the soul-wrenching despair they must have felt before the lights went on. Thank God the shelter was there! I hope they can get to them quicker than they think.

I have only experience this in a volcanic cave I went to long ago and it is terrifying. I would never want to be trapped any where like that. It would drive me nuts.

I was in in a fairly decent sized basement without any lights. No lights and one small window, where there was only light in a certain part of basement, very deep into it. I think it would have been hard to navigate. The lights I believe had blown out and thus it was something that was difficult to really navigate. Thankfully, I managed to find a flashlight, somehow, but still, I can only imagine. I cannot imagine living in darkness either. Its really something that you have to get used for, I would have to think. It would be a shock to the mind if we could not see anything. Not just the light but anything. I think many people would go completely mad. At least that is my assessment of the situation.

i have been once in religious narrow cave ,i was very suffocated ,i taught i will loose my life ,then i took decision that i will never visit this type of places.
