The front-page layout from Tribun, displayed in INFGRPHC1 1.jpg, details a heartbreaking caving accident that occurred at Gua Seropan II (also known as Luweng Serpeng) in Pacarejo, Semanu, Gunungkidul. Under the headline “Mereka Masih Terikat Tali” (They Were Still Bound to the Rope), the graphic investigation recounts how an unexpected flash flood (air bah) trapped cavers inside a vertical cave system, resulting in the tragic deaths of three university students. The spread pairs an extensive cross-sectional 3D graphic of the cave system with a meticulous step-by-step chronological timeline to visualize the rescue mission and the progression of the floodwaters.

The large diagram in infographic highlights the perilous topography of the cave and maps out how the disaster unfolded hour by hour:

• 11:30 AM: A group of 20 participants and 4 instructors begin descending the vertical shaft of Gua Seropan II in gradual stages.PDF
• 03:00 PM: The final group is still inside the cave corridor, with 3 people in the process of ascending to the surface using safety ropes.PDF
• 03:30 PM: Heavy rain starts falling, leaving seven people trapped inside the cave while one person frantically climbs the wall to safety.PDF
• 03:45 PM: A violent flash flood hits, roaring into the cave corridor and trapping six people at the bottom who are all clipped to a single safety rope.PDF
• 04:00 PM – 05:00 PM: Instructors at the surface attempt to create an evacuation route amidst rising waters. By 05:00 PM, the first rescue team successfully evacuates three survivors, while the remaining three victims are found lifeless.PDF+ 1

Through a comprehensive “News Analysis” segment and emotional sidebars honoring the victims—such as Dian Putri Permata Sari, a biology student at UGM whose final social media interactions are shared—the newspaper highlights the severe risks of cave tourism during the rainy season. By structurally mapping out the interior layers of Gua Seropan II, INFGRPHC1 1.jpg serves as both an informative investigative report and a sober warning about environmental hazards in regional nature tourism.
