Why did they go in that cave to begin with?
I don’ have a clue. But am praying for safe extraction of all of them. Already one diver has been lost.
They were just exploring in the cave when torrential rains flooded the exits and created numerous pools of standing water blocking their exit.
“Why did they go in that cave to begin with?”
I think to escape a storm. And then the water continued rising and driving them further back into the cave.
May God deliver them out of this situation safely.
I want them all to get out, too, but they couldn’t have picked a worse time to go spelunking. Monsoon rains at this time of year dump a lot of water every day. Going underground to stay dry makes about as much sense as shooting a hole in your head to keep from bruising your knee.
I got to Vietnam in early July, 50 years ago. I know a little bit about monsoons.
