Different cave. Nutty Putty cave is approximately 430m (1400ft) in length.

This story of the nutty putty cave really killed every tiny bit of interest exploring caves. Have you heard about the Floyd Collins incident?

Very interesting story and one of the bigger media highlights of 19th century America. Part of the so called Kentucky cave wars. Wikipedia
